Height of Asinine Stupidity': Trump Advisor Rages at GOP Senator Wanting to Make Abortion an Issue Ahead of Midterms
"Isenstadt reported on his conversation with a second Trump adviser who's deeply involved in midterm strategy said the GOP needs to focus instead on aggressive action focused on positive gains in the economy.' The adviser told him: That alone will be the driving force behind the next election. Picking a fight on an issue like abortion in a midterm is the height of asinine stupidity."
"Axios's Alex Isenstadt reported on the fury inside the Trump White House over Hawley's announcement last week that he and his wife, constitutional lawyer Erin Hawley, are launching a new dark-money political group named the Love Life Initiative."
"While pro-life messaging remains popular within the GOP base, strategists looking to win key swing states and the national popular vote are undoubtedly worried about the 51% of Americans who call themselves pro-choice, according to a recent Gallup poll. Only 43% of Americans view themselves as pro-life, making the issue a tenuous one for the GOP."
Sen. Josh Hawley and his wife, constitutional lawyer Erin Hawley, launched a new dark-money political group called the Love Life Initiative to push pro-life messaging before midterm elections. Top aides in the Trump White House reacted angrily, viewing the move as an effort to position Hawley for a 2028 presidential challenge against Vice President Vance. One adviser said Hawley's team failed to learn from 2022 when the Supreme Court abortion ruling energized Democrats. Another adviser argued the GOP should prioritize economic gains for voters and warned that making abortion a midterm focus is politically risky. Polling shows 51% of Americans identify as pro-choice and 43% as pro-life.
