"Americans don’t see a distinction between the Republican plan and the Democrat plan on inflation because there isn't one," Carville told Fox News Digital. "Republicans don't have a plan to reduce inflation that I know of. However, they do see a distinction between Republicans and Democrats on abortion and the distinction is the Republicans are trying to restrict abortion," said Carville, who is famously known for coining the phrase "it's the economy stupid" while working on Clinton's campaign in the 1990s.
In June, the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade and declared that the right to an abortion was not in the constitution, returning the power to the states to place further restrictions on abortion. Since the decision, Democrats have spent approximately $124 million campaigning on abortion this election cycle, highlighting their pro-abortion positions while also attempting to tear down their pro-life opponents.
