There are still some serious problems here though.
First, there are many voters who will shoot down anti-abortion measures in referendum like Kansas's, but will still gladly vote for Republican candidates on a multitude of other issues. The backlash undoubtedly helps Democrats, but I question as to just how deep that's going to go.
Second, a lot of the fundamentals still favor Republicans in the midterms. Inflation and economic worries are hurting Biden and Democrats, not to mention party that still managed to convince 45% of Americans to vote for Trump in 2020 despite- well, everything - has a very High floor of support.
Third, even regarding abortion rights themselves, there are many states which I believe either don't have the option of placing referendum on the ballot to protect abortion rights or other issues, and other states such as Florida where the requirements such as a 60% supermajority of support are quite daunting.
Point three, Wisconsin is screwed. We have a ban from the 1800s, Republicans in charge and no recourse.
Gonna need to flip the state Supreme Court next year.
This ban is a good anchor around Ron Johnson, the GOP Gov candidates also support no exceptions. It is pretty clear that a lot of them are f****ing morons hellbent on driving full speed ahead.
