Political Strategy and Repulsion from Extremism

Extreme views on abortion can repulse even core supporters by exploiting them as pawns. A change in rating from Lean Republican to Lean Democratic in the Arizona Senate race indicates a dramatic shift. The Arizona sixth district is no longer a sure win for Republicans, offering a significant advantage to Democrats due to the extreme abortion law support of a candidate. Pursuing an issue where success is unlikely disregards the best opportunities for Republicans, potentially resulting in a loss.
