WASHINGTON/FAYETTEVILLE, North Carolina - Waiting for President Donald Trump to speak at a campaign rally in North Carolina on Saturday, Paulette Fittshur was quick to express her sympathy for the family of the late Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. Still, she viewed Ginsburg’s passing as divine providence.
As news of Ginsburg’s death reverberated throughout the country, supporters of Trump and his opponent in the Nov. 3 election, Democrat Joe Biden, were adjusting to a presidential race that had suddenly been reframed around a Supreme Court vacancy. Women voters have long been viewed as the key to the election, and the coming fight over the Supreme Court gives both Trump and Biden fresh ammunition to make their cases to the small pool of undecided women that could make a difference in battlegrounds states such as North Carolina, Minnesota and elsewhere.
In the interim, Democratic interest groups are prepping for war, largely over the very real threat to Roe v. Wade, the landmark 1973 Supreme Court case that established abortion as a constitutional right. “Everybody understands that the Supreme Court and this election are now one and the same,” said Illyse Hogue, president of NARAL Pro-Choice America, an abortion-rights advocacy group.
But Republicans were newly energized, as well. The vacancy could afford them a chance to sway women voters who may have been leaning toward Biden, said Penny Nance, a conservative activist and president of Concerned Women for America. In 2016, during his first run for president, Trump performed well with Catholics, an important voting bloc in states such as Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, earning a 58% share of their vote to Hillary Clinton’s 39%.
I'm cringing when thinking there is another side.
Females?
I like to see women energised. It's so uplifting.
But there’s more blue than red.
Let the next president decide! Stop this disgusting game.
'Supreme Court' and 'fight' Those words don't sound good together, if you aren't making an irony.
A woman who fights to take reproductive choice away from other women who need it is worse than a celibate man: neither of them should have a voice in the issue.
