In normal times, an inept, weak President like Biden would lead to massive midterm gains. But with the election deniers, Jan 6 defenders, and never mind abortion, votes against contraception, the GOP risks seriously underperforming the circumstances.
The Maryland Governor's race is the 1st casualty, but won't be the last. Somewhere, somehow GOP strategists need to cool the crazy that could derail what should be a huge midterm win for them.
I don't personally know any conservatives or people that call themselves republicans that want to ban abortion. Ironically, I do personally know someone who traditionally votes democrat who is morally opposed to abortion and would like to see it banned.
But my point is, I don't know that there is much demand in the general public for an abortion ban. I don't know if there are any mainstream republicans pushing for it, but if they are, they should consider who their constituents are and what they want. These elected officials are supposed to be representing the will of the people first and foremost.

Too late for that:
Three states — Kentucky, Louisiana, and South Dakota — had statutes already on the books that allowed for complete or near-complete bans on abortion to take effect immediately following the Supreme Court’s overturning of Roe v. Wade. None of these states make an exception for abortion in cases of rape or incest. Six other states with trigger laws have also had their complete or near-complete bans on abortion swiftly implemented. There are a total of 13 states with trigger laws, though their scopes vary and so do their implementation.

What are you talking about? This isn't a national election. There are 435 separate elections taking place. Which ones are you talking about? "A midterm win"? We aren't voting for president.

The overall result of the midterm elections (e.g., large gains in the House) is often seen as a reflection on the public's view of the current president and the president's party.

Don't be so certain. I have been supporting the Democrats since McGovern, but I am pretty sick and tired of the identity and gender politics. Personally, I feel the Dems also went way, way over the top with COVID. Dems seem to be more concerned with the banks and big business and have a bad track record in actually helping the working class. If the Republicans put up Trump or a Trump wanna be, I will vote DEM next election. If not, I will take a serious look at the Rep candidate.
As for the mid-terms, all three of my elected officials are DEMs, and if no one else wins the primary, I am definitely going to a different box on the ballot.
They need Trump in the spotlight more, he's the only man, woman or child who can increase enthusiasm- https://www.foxnews.com/politics/tru...int-usa-summit
Tampa, Fla.– Former President Donald Trump dominated the 2024 GOP presidential nomination straw poll at the Turning Point USA Student Action Summit Sunday, Fox News has learned.
TPUSA polled conference attendees—youth activists from around the country—who they would vote for in 2024 if Trump decided to launch another White House run. The straw poll was sponsored by Turning Point Action, the affiliated 501(c)(4) of TPUSA.

Yes, Democrats believe men can have babies, that we should have open borders, that we should defund the police and not criminalize theft unless it's more than $1000, and that high gas prices are "good."
But the republicans are the crazy ones. Gotcha.
