Wade last year. Her win follows a slew of Democratic and abortion rights victories across the country during last year\u2019s midterms.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr1_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>However, the liberal victory in a presidential battleground and hotly contested Senate state signals that Republicans and anti-abortion rights activists have a steep hill to climb going into 2024.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen you\u2019re losing by ten points there is a messaging issue and abortion is still an issue and we can\u2019t allow Democrats to define Republicans and put millions of dollars up in lies and have it go unanswered because the lies become the truth if they go unanswered,\u201d Republican National Committee Chair Ronna McDaniel told Fox <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/news\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"2\" title=\"News\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">News<\/a> this week.<\/p>\n<p>McDaniel went on to call for Republicans to put Democrats \u201con the defense\u201d on the issue by labeling them as extreme abortion.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m a suburban woman,\u201d McDaniel said. \u201cThis is not an issue that is going away for our party in a post-Dobbs world and we can\u2019t put our head in the sand thinking that it\u2019s going to heading into 2024.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, the Wall Street Journal\u2019s right-leaning editorial board, wrote this week that Protasiewicz\u2019s win represents a \u201cfive alarm warning for the GOP about 2024.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Wisconsin results show abortion is still politically potent. In a special election for the state Senate on Tuesday, the Republican candidate barely won in a longtime GOP stronghold in the northern Milwaukee suburbs,\u201d the board wrote. \u201cIf Republicans can\u2019t win in Mequon, their legislative majorities will soon be imperiled, and you can move Wisconsin out of the swing-state column for the Presidency in 2024.\u201d<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr2_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>Protasiewicz defeated her conservative opponent Dan Kelly by 11 points on Tuesday, a decisive victory for liberals in a state Republican Sen. Ron Johnson won by one point last year and that President Biden won by less than a point in 2020.<\/p>\n<p>Throughout much of the campaign, Protasiewicz focused on abortion rights, highlighting the issue in her first two television ads.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHer coffers were filled by interest groups on the left, pro-abortion advocates, and she was able to dominate the airwaves and fuel her campaign,\u201d said Kelsey Pritchard, state public affairs director at Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America. \u201cHer ads mentioning abortion made up a third of the pro-Janet TV ads that were running versus just four percent of Kelly\u2019s ads, which shows us something there.\u201d<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr3_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>Pritchard went on to cite Republican governors who handily won their reelection bids in 2022 after taking strong anti-abortion rights stances in their respective states, including Florida, Ohio, Georgia, South Dakota, and Texas. These states are considered reliably red states, particularly at the gubernatorial level.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have a lot of examples where governors were not afraid to talk about the issue and also took action in the time after the decision of Dobbs and they got reelection by huge margins,\u201d Pritchard.<\/p>\n<p>In Florida, Gov. Ron DeSantis (R), who is mulling a presidential bid, is appearing to move farther to the right on abortion since his landslide reelection bid in 2022. On Monday, Florida\u2019s GOP-controlled state Senate passed legislation that would ban abortions in the state after six weeks. DeSantis said last month that he would sign the measure into law.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr4_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>While many anti-abortion rights Republicans have praised DeSantis for taking what they see as a firm stance on the issue, other Republicans worry that a six week ban may be a step too far for the party going into what is expected to be a fraught <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/general\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"3\" title=\"General\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">general<\/a> election year.<\/p>\n<p>Former Nevada GOP Chair Amy Tarkanian, who identifies as pro-life, told The Hill that the possibility of a six week ban in Florida has \u201copened up the can of worms once again\u201d on top of the liberal win in Wisconsin.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is obviously a issue that is so important to a number of voters that it will supersede other issues,\u201d Tarkanian said, citing Democrats\u2019 wins on the issue in 2022.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr5_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>Last year, 27 percent of voters said that abortion was the most important issue in deciding their vote, coming in only behind inflation at 32 percent, according to exit polling from NBC News.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd so if Republicans want to continue to do what Gov. Ron DeSantis did and bring it down to a six week ban, if you are somebody that\u2019s pro-choice, that\u2019s a scary thought,\u201d she continued.<\/p>\n<p>A Gallup poll released shortly before Roe was overturned last year found that roughly 60 percent of U.S. adults believe abortion should be legal in the first three months of pregnancy. However, that support declined to 28 percent for abortions taking place in the second trimester, and then to 13 percent in the last trimester. Roe upheld the constitutional right to an abortion at the woman\u2019s discretion during the first trimester, and some government regulation could be allowed in the second trimester.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr6_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>However, Tarkanian said GOP candidates need to take a stronger stance on not letting Democrats define them on the issue, citing Nevada\u2019s Senate race last year with incumbent Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto (D) and Republican nominee Adam Laxalt.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBy the time any type of rebuttal came out when it came to abortion, for Adam it was already too late,\u201d Tarkanian said. \u201cCatherine and the Democrats had already put out that Republicans were going to take away your right [to an abortion].\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe can\u2019t do that according to our law, but it was enough to scare the heck out of people,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr7_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>Nevada has already codified protections for abortion until 24 weeks of pregnancy. But the issue could come into play once again in Nevada\u2019s Senate race in 2024.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe just don\u2019t do a good job on getting that message out or putting enough money behind it, so we always end up on the defense instead of getting ahead of it,\u201d Tarkanian said, referring to Republicans.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Copyright 2023 Nexstar <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Media<\/a> Inc.
