President Joe Biden has never hidden the fact that his Catholic roots
President Joe Biden has never hidden the fact that his Catholic roots can make it difficult to be a politician in favor of abortion rights. In fact, he still rarely uses the word “abortion” at all.But as the 2024 election comes into focus, Biden is poised to run the most overtly abortion rights platform of any general election candidate in political history as he and his team navigate the first presidential cycle in the post-Roe era.“I think it’ll continue to be a really galvanizing issue, and we’ll continue to find ways to make it front and center,” Biden campaign manager Julie Chávez Rodríguez told POLITICO, arguing that abortion rights will increase in salience as more Republican-led states pass anti-abortion laws and news headlines showcase problems arising from the restrictions.Abortion rights are “going to be a major theme in the 2024 campaign,” predicted Ron Klain, Biden’s former White House chief of staff.“You’re going to have a Democrat, Joe Biden, who has stood up for a woman’s right to choose and is pushing for federal legislation to restore Roe v. Wade as the law of the land against a Republican who obviously has a very different point of view,” he said, adding that it would be part of a broader rubric of issues, including LGBTQ rights and not banning books, where Democrats will draw contrasts with “MAGA Republicans trying to roll back those freedoms.”
