McDaniel Warns That Abortion Rights Could Sink GOP

Politico reports:

Ronna McDaniel, the outgoing chair of the Republican National Committee, on Friday again called on the party to adjust its messaging on abortion, cautioning that the GOP will not reach independent and swing voters if they don’t.

“We cannot put our heads in the sand and ignore abortion and the Dobbs decision,” McDaniel said in her parting speech to the committee’s 168 committee members in Houston. “Many of our candidates chose to ignore this issue and not talk about it.”

Her guidance for Republicans is to emphasize support for “exceptions and reasonable limitations when a baby feels pain,” while contrasting it with Democrats who she said support “no exceptions, no limits, not even when a baby feels pain,” she reiterated Friday.
