Voters in some states are seeing abortion become a factor in local elections. Democratic candidates are highlighting their stance on the issue. This is evident in states such as Wisconsin and Georgia, where candidates have made their positions on abortion known. In these areas, the issue is being used to shape campaign messaging, particularly in state supreme court elections. The economy is a major concern for voters, but abortion is still being discussed. Further information on the role of abortion in the 2026 midterms is available from The 19th, which has spoken to Democratic strategists and abortion rights advocates about the issue.
