Abortion Policy Central in U.S. Election Races

Abortion policy has become a central focus in multiple U.S. elections, influencing gubernatorial, Senate, and Congressional races, including California's 49th Congressional District where Democratic Rep. Mike Levin and Republican Matt Gunderson highlight their differing stances. In New Hampshire's gubernatorial race, candidates differ on reproductive care visions, and abortion will be on the ballot in ten states on November 5, including pivotal swing states like Arizona and Nevada. Vice President Kamala Harris, campaigning on economic and social issues, drew larger viewership for her Fox News interview compared to former President Donald Trump's town hall, indicating a strategic media engagement effort by Democrats. The economy remains a significant concern among voters, with inflation and cost-of-living issues influencing preferences in key states like Nevada.
