The stance puts Kennedy — who’s mounting long shot bid to unseat President Joe Biden as the Democratic standard bearer in 2024 — out of step with most of his party.

    With this announcement on his stance on abortion, I think that idea is out the window.

        Henry Cuellar’s success in his district in the deep south of Texas isn’t indicative of anything at all on a national level.

              It’s so nice that the national party has to step in to save us from ourselves. Otherwise we might elect a progressive instead of the anti-choice candidate they prefer.

                Is it your belief that Joe Biden is “anti-choice?”

                Because he is 100% the pick of the Dem Party

                  It’s my belief that the party will abandon any principle to shut out progressives, and Coathanger Cuellar shows that.

                    That’s silly, since there is literally a progressive Dem caucus, and it has more members in 2023 than in the past 60 years.

            Down voters apparently aren’t aware that the national Democratic party will back an anti choice candidate in order to prevent a progressive from taking the seat.
