SCOTUS bombshell lands as Ohio tests Trump and Biden: The Note

The first major primary voting of 2022 will test the style of both men, with the Supreme Court bombshell landing on the midterm landscape just as voting heats up.

The TAKE with Rick Klein

Political movements and party practicalities tend to collide in unpredictable ways -- all the more so with a bombshell about the Supreme Court landing on the midterm landscape just as voting heats up.

So it is that the first major primary voting of 2022 will test the style of both the current and most recent presidents inside their respective parties, at a time of less predictability than ever about how the biggest issues will play.

With polls open in Ohio and Indiana on Tuesday, voters will start to sort through the complicated paths both men present, only now with new urgency around the issue of abortion, given Politico’s reporting of what appears to be a draft Supreme Court opinion that would overturn Roe v. Wade.
