What should we make of the role that abortion played in both the Chicago and Wisconsin elections this week? Brandon Johnson and Janet Protasiewicz.Evan Cobb for The New York Times, Jamie Kelter Davis for The New York Times Wisconsin vs. Florida The elections this week in Chicago and Wisconsin were different in many ways. One was for mayor, the other for a state Supreme Court seat. One was in an overwhelmingly Democratic city, the other in a closely divided swing state. But there was at least one issue — abortion — that was part of both campaigns. And the outcomes of both elections had something in common: The more liberal candidate won. In Wisconsin, abortion dominated the race to fill a pivotal seat on the state Supreme Court, with the winner, Janet Protasiewicz, making clear that she would vote to overturn the state’s abortion ban. She beat Daniel Kelly by 11 percentage points. In Chicago, the issue played a much smaller role, partly because mayors have little control over abortion policy. Still, the winner, Brandon Johnson, used a past statement of personal opposition to abortion by his opponent, Paul Vallas, as part of an argument that Vallas was far too conservative for Chicago. Johnson won by about three percentage points. Together, the elections add to the evidence that abortion can be a potent issue for left-leaning candidates in the aftermath of the Supreme Court’s unpopular overturning of Roe v. Wade. Some Democrats have come to see the post-Roe politics of abortion as so favorable that they believe the party should organize its 2024 campaign around the issue, as Rebecca Traister [recently described](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRmESUNP0ThaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cudGhlY3V0LmNvbS9hcnRpY2xlL2Fib3J0aW9uLWRlbW9jcmF0aWMtcGFydHktMjAyNC1lbGVjdGlvbnMuaHRtbD9jYW1wYWlnbl9pZD05JmVtYz1lZGl0X25uXzIwMjMwNDA2Jmluc3RhbmNlX2lkPTg5NTM3Jm5sPXRoZS1tb3JuaW5nJnJlZ2lfaWQ9Nzc2NzQ5NTImc2VnbWVudF9pZD0xMjk3MTEmdGU9MSZ1c2VyX2lkPWFhNDkxZWY3ZjFkOTY0ZTQ5NzlmYjc4NGU3NGUwMWQ3VwNueXRCCmQhDaAuZNWMfOhSG3RyaXN0cmFtYmFsZHdpbjkwQGdtYWlsLmNvbVgEAAAAAA~~) in New York magazine. These Democrats’ argument is as simple as the headline on the magazine’s cover: “Abortion wins elections.” Today, I want to examine that claim, considering the supporting and conflicting evidence. With help from colleagues, I’ll also help you understand the other lessons from Chicago and Wisconsin. ‘What happened?’ After the Supreme Court overturned Roe last June and allowed states to ban abortion, more than a dozen quickly imposed tight restrictions. Today, abortion is largely illegal in most of red America, even though polls suggest many voters in these states support at least some access. In response, Democratic candidates in Republican-leaning states emphasized abortion in last year’s midterm campaigns. The Democrats saw it as a way to energize liberals and win over swing voters and moderate Republicans: - In Georgia, as [CNN reported](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRmESUNP0TzaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuY25uLmNvbS8yMDIyLzA5LzIwL3BvbGl0aWNzL2Fib3J0aW9uLWdlb3JnaWEtZ292ZXJub3JzLXJhY2UtYWJyYW1zLWtlbXAvaW5kZXguaHRtbD9jYW1wYWlnbl9pZD05JmVtYz1lZGl0X25uXzIwMjMwNDA2Jmluc3RhbmNlX2lkPTg5NTM3Jm5sPXRoZS1tb3JuaW5nJnJlZ2lfaWQ9Nzc2NzQ5NTImc2VnbWVudF9pZD0xMjk3MTEmdGU9MSZ1c2VyX2lkPWFhNDkxZWY3ZjFkOTY0ZTQ5NzlmYjc4NGU3NGUwMWQ3VwNueXRCCmQhDaAuZNWMfOhSG3RyaXN0cmFtYmFsZHdpbjkwQGdtYWlsLmNvbVgEAAAAAA~~) in September, Stacey Abrams had “found an issue to center her campaign around as Election Day approaches: protecting abortion rights in Georgia.” Abrams, a Democrat, was trying to defeat Gov. Brian Kemp, a Republican. - In Florida, television commercials for Democratic Senate and governor candidates mentioned abortion nearly 28,000 times, [according to one estimate](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRmESUNP0T2aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cudGFtcGFiYXkuY29tL25ld3MvaGVhbHRoLzIwMjIvMTEvMTIvZGVzYW50aXMtcnViaW8tYWJvcnRpb24tZmxvcmlkYS1taWR0ZXJtcy1kZW1pbmdzLz9jYW1wYWlnbl9pZD05JmVtYz1lZGl0X25uXzIwMjMwNDA2Jmluc3RhbmNlX2lkPTg5NTM3Jm5sPXRoZS1tb3JuaW5nJnJlZ2lfaWQ9Nzc2NzQ5NTImc2VnbWVudF9pZD0xMjk3MTEmdGU9MSZ1c2VyX2lkPWFhNDkxZWY3ZjFkOTY0ZTQ5NzlmYjc4NGU3NGUwMWQ3VwNueXRCCmQhDaAuZNWMfOhSG3RyaXN0cmFtYmFsZHdpbjkwQGdtYWlsLmNvbVgEAAAAAA~~). - In [Ohio](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRmESUNP4QKAWh0dHBzOi8vd3d3Lm5iY25ld3MuY29tL21lZXQtdGhlLXByZXNzL21lZXR0aGVwcmVzc2Jsb2cvYWJvcnRpb24tZGl2aWRlcy1vaGlvLXNlbmF0ZS1jYW5kaWRhdGVzLXBhcnR5LWxpbmVzLXJjbmEzNzE4Mj9jYW1wYWlnbl9pZD05JmVtYz1lZGl0X25uXzIwMjMwNDA2Jmluc3RhbmNlX2lkPTg5NTM3Jm5sPXRoZS1tb3JuaW5nJnJlZ2lfaWQ9Nzc2NzQ5NTImc2VnbWVudF9pZD0xMjk3MTEmdGU9MSZ1c2VyX2lkPWFhNDkxZWY3ZjFkOTY0ZTQ5NzlmYjc4NGU3NGUwMWQ3VwNueXRCCmQhDaAuZNWMfOhSG3RyaXN0cmFtYmFsZHdpbjkwQGdtYWlsLmNvbVgEAAAAAA~~) and [Texas](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRmESUNP4QJAWh0dHBzOi8vd3d3Lm5ld3N3ZWVrLmNvbS9ncmVnLWFiYm90dC1hYm9ydGlvbi1zdGFuY2UtcHJlZ25hbnQtY2hpbGQtYWR2ZXJ0LW1vdGhlcnMtYWdhaW5zdC10ZXhhcy12aXJhbC12aWRlby0xNzUxODU5P2NhbXBhaWduX2lkPTkmZW1jPWVkaXRfbm5fMjAyMzA0MDYmaW5zdGFuY2VfaWQ9ODk1Mzcmbmw9dGhlLW1vcm5pbmcmcmVnaV9pZD03NzY3NDk1MiZzZWdtZW50X2lkPTEyOTcxMSZ0ZT0xJnVzZXJfaWQ9YWE0OTFlZjdmMWQ5NjRlNDk3OWZiNzg0ZTc0ZTAxZDdXA255dEIKZCENoC5k1Yx86FIbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luOTBAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAAA), Democrats also emphasized the issue in statewide races. Democratic donors were hopeful enough about all these races that they poured money into them — and yet the party lost all of them. In some cases, the outcomes were landslides. “Abortion was supposed to be a defining issue for Florida Democrats,” read a headline in [The Tampa Bay Times](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRmESUNP0T2aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cudGFtcGFiYXkuY29tL25ld3MvaGVhbHRoLzIwMjIvMTEvMTIvZGVzYW50aXMtcnViaW8tYWJvcnRpb24tZmxvcmlkYS1taWR0ZXJtcy1kZW1pbmdzLz9jYW1wYWlnbl9pZD05JmVtYz1lZGl0X25uXzIwMjMwNDA2Jmluc3RhbmNlX2lkPTg5NTM3Jm5sPXRoZS1tb3JuaW5nJnJlZ2lfaWQ9Nzc2NzQ5NTImc2VnbWVudF9pZD0xMjk3MTEmdGU9MSZ1c2VyX2lkPWFhNDkxZWY3ZjFkOTY0ZTQ5NzlmYjc4NGU3NGUwMWQ3VwNueXRCCmQhDaAuZNWMfOhSG3RyaXN0cmFtYmFsZHdpbjkwQGdtYWlsLmNvbVgEAAAAAA~~). “What happened?” The answer seems to be that abortion is a winning issue for Democrats, but only in some circumstances. When a campaign revolves around the subject — as the Wisconsin Supreme Court race did this week and voter referendums in Kansas, Kentucky and Michigan did last year — abortion can win big even in purple or red states. And when abortion serves as a symbol of a candidate’s broader conservatism — as in Chicago, and as some Democrats have used it [in other mayoral races](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRmESUNP0ThaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vMjAyMy8wNC8wMi91cy9wb2xpdGljcy9kZW1vY3JhdHMtYWJvcnRpb24tbWF5b3IuaHRtbD9jYW1wYWlnbl9pZD05JmVtYz1lZGl0X25uXzIwMjMwNDA2Jmluc3RhbmNlX2lkPTg5NTM3Jm5sPXRoZS1tb3JuaW5nJnJlZ2lfaWQ9Nzc2NzQ5NTImc2VnbWVudF9pZD0xMjk3MTEmdGU9MSZ1c2VyX2lkPWFhNDkxZWY3ZjFkOTY0ZTQ5NzlmYjc4NGU3NGUwMWQ3VwNueXRCCmQhDaAuZNWMfOhSG3RyaXN0cmFtYmFsZHdpbjkwQGdtYWlsLmNvbVgEAAAAAA~~) — the tactic can also work. But there is not yet evidence that abortion can determine the outcome of most political campaigns. In hotly contested races — for governor, Congress and other offices — most voters make their decisions based on an array of issues. And many Republican voters who support some abortion access are nonetheless willing to support a candidate who does not. In [the latest edition of his newsletter](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRmESUNP0ThaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vMjAyMy8wNC8wNi91cHNob3Qvd2lzY29uc2luLXRydW1wLWNoaWNhZ28tbWF5b3IuaHRtbD9jYW1wYWlnbl9pZD05JmVtYz1lZGl0X25uXzIwMjMwNDA2Jmluc3RhbmNlX2lkPTg5NTM3Jm5sPXRoZS1tb3JuaW5nJnJlZ2lfaWQ9Nzc2NzQ5NTImc2VnbWVudF9pZD0xMjk3MTEmdGU9MSZ1c2VyX2lkPWFhNDkxZWY3ZjFkOTY0ZTQ5NzlmYjc4NGU3NGUwMWQ3VwNueXRCCmQhDaAuZNWMfOhSG3RyaXN0cmFtYmFsZHdpbjkwQGdtYWlsLmNvbVgEAAAAAA~~), Nate Cohn, The Times’s chief political analyst, combines abortion with another major issue — democracy — and makes the following argument: “If the 2022 midterm elections offered any lesson, it was that liberals excel when abortion and democracy are on the ballot. Liberal voters turn out en masse. A crucial sliver of voters — perhaps as few as one in every 30 or 40 — will flip to vote for the Democrat when they otherwise would have voted Republican.” My colleague Reid Epstein, who covered the Wisconsin race, put it this way: “The difference in Wisconsin is that voters were playing with live ammunition. The Protasiewicz campaign and Democrats broadly made it clear from the very beginning to voters that she would be the deciding vote to strike down the state’s 1849 abortion law, while the conservative in the race, Daniel Kelly, would be a vote to keep it.” For the other implications of the Wisconsin race, especially for the state’s heavily gerrymandered legislative maps, I recommend [Reid’s latest article](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRmESUNP0T2aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vMjAyMy8wNC8wNS91cy9wb2xpdGljcy93aXNjb25zaW4tc3VwcmVtZS1jb3VydC1hYm9ydGlvbi1wcm90YXNpZXdpY3ouaHRtbD9jYW1wYWlnbl9pZD05JmVtYz1lZGl0X25uXzIwMjMwNDA2Jmluc3RhbmNlX2lkPTg5NTM3Jm5sPXRoZS1tb3JuaW5nJnJlZ2lfaWQ9Nzc2NzQ5NTImc2VnbWVudF9pZD0xMjk3MTEmdGU9MSZ1c2VyX2lkPWFhNDkxZWY3ZjFkOTY0ZTQ5NzlmYjc4NGU3NGUwMWQ3VwNueXRCCmQhDaAuZNWMfOhSG3RyaXN0cmFtYmFsZHdpbjkwQGdtYWlsLmNvbVgEAAAAAA~~). More on Chicago In Chicago, Johnson offered a playbook for winning an election in a heavily Democratic city as a strong progressive. Johnson ran left in the first round of voting, becoming the favored candidate of liberal activists, and then moved back to the center in the final round (by effectively disavowing his earlier support for defunding the police). He has signaled that as mayor he will pursue a progressive agenda, raising taxes on the rich and on corporations to pay for new services “Johnson talked frequently on the campaign trail about public safety,” Julie Bosman, The Times’s Chicago bureau chief, told me, “but he spoke about it in the larger context of increasing funding for public schools, creating anti-poverty programs and doubling youth employment.” Julie added: “This election tested the limits of the old-fashioned law-and-order message that drove Eric Adams’s win in New York. Voters I talked to at the polls yesterday said they were concerned about crime, but many of them said that they favored Johnson’s approach of building up social programs to fight poverty and violence, rather than trying to flood the streets with more police officers, as Vallas advocated.” For more on Chicago, see Mitch Smith’s story about how Johnson [united a coalition of young, Black and progressive voters](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRmESUNP0TmaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vMjAyMy8wNC8wNS91cy9jaGljYWdvLW1heW9yLWVsZWN0aW9uLWJyYW5kb24tam9obnNvbi5odG1sP2NhbXBhaWduX2lkPTkmZW1jPWVkaXRfbm5fMjAyMzA0MDYmaW5zdGFuY2VfaWQ9ODk1Mzcmbmw9dGhlLW1vcm5pbmcmcmVnaV9pZD03NzY3NDk1MiZzZWdtZW50X2lkPTEyOTcxMSZ0ZT0xJnVzZXJfaWQ9YWE0OTFlZjdmMWQ5NjRlNDk3OWZiNzg0ZTc0ZTAxZDdXA255dEIKZCENoC5k1Yx86FIbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luOTBAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAAA).
