After Supreme Court abortion decision, 2022 Republicans look to keep the focus on the economy
CNN
In the new post-Roe landscape, Pennsylvania Republican Doug Mastriano seems to have strayed from what he once described as his "number one" focus.
As the GOP nominee for governor navigates one of the most closely watched contests this year, there has been a noticeable drop off in his public comments on abortion -- both in the intensity with which he speaks about the issue and the frequency. Mastriano even cast the issue as a potential distraction following the Supreme Court's ending of federal abortion rights in a 5-4 ruling on June 24, declaring in a statement that it "must not take our focus away from the key issues facing Pennsylvania families."
He's not the only Republican nominee for this year's midterms making that argument.

Janet Mills and her allies are counting on a gender gap to narrow Platner’s wide lead ahead of the June 9 primary to decide who will face incumbent Republican Sen. Susan Collins. They are betting that the unfiltered style that has brought Platner widespread attention as someone who could help Democrats reach young men will backfire with women.

As a shrinking number of Transportation Security Administration agents work to keep hourslong security lines moving despite not being paid, President Donald Trump stepped into the fray Saturday, announcing he will send Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers to airports by Monday if Congress doesn’t agree to a plan to end the partial government shutdown.
