“I’m not sure what he’s thinking here,” said a GOP senator about Lindsey Graham. She's not alone. - MaddowBlog
Democrats on Capitol Hill, meanwhile, were eager to talk about little else. Taking advantage of the gift Graham had presented, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer appeared on the chamber floor and declared:
“Rather than expanding women’s rights, MAGA Republicans would curtail them. Rather than give individuals the freedom to make their own health care choices, they’d hand that power over to radical politicians. And let me add this: Republicans are twisting themselves into pretzels trying to explain why they want nationwide abortion bans when they said they’d leave it up to the states.”
There’s no reason to believe yesterday’s developments represented a one-day story. For one thing, Democrats will be reminding voters about this — especiallyabout what will happen under a Republican majority — between now and Election Day, which is just eight weeks away. For another, it’s possible House Republicans will unveil a related bill of their own sometime soon, renewing the conversation Democrats are eager to have.
