Biden making abortion a midterms issue is ‘a slap in the face' after failing to codify Roe: Liberal strategist

Despite being in control of Washington, Democrats have failed to codify abortion protections in Roe v Wade — and now want another chance in the midterm elections

"President Biden and Speaker Pelosi passing the buck to voters by telling voters to 'just go vote' without doing everything in their power to fix things, is a slap in the face to their voters," said Tezlyn Figaro, a political strategist and former national racial justice director for the 2016 presidential campaign of  Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt.

Biden's failure to do everything in his power to protect abortion will continue, Figaro suggested, regardless of what happens in the November midterms, where Democrats face historical headwinds as they aim to preserve congressional majorities. "On Saturday, June 25th, President Biden doubled down on his position to not expand the court; therefore, regardless of how policies may change on the state level after the midterms, nothing will change on the federal level under the leadership of President Biden," Figaro said.
