Rep. Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., urged her fellow Democrats to put the abortion issue front and center in their 2024 campaigns, arguing Republicans will lose big on the issue across the country.
Pelosi appeared on MSNBC's "Inside with Jen Psaki" on Sunday for an extensive interview that focused heavily on abortion and the one-year anniversary of the Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe v. Wade. Pelosi said abortion remains a winning issue for Democrats, and one that helped stave of disaster for the party in the 2022 midterm elections.
"Everybody said we're going to lose 30, 40 seats," Pelosi said of the 2022 elections. "Last time we lost five and everybody says you had the wrong message. They were saying to me, you're going to owe an apology to the members because Dobbs is in the rearview mirror. But it wasn't. It was up front, and it is right up in front of women in our country."
Pelosi's interview came the same weekend former President Donald Trump declared himself the "most pro-life president" in U.S. history. Former Vice President Mike Pence also marked the anniversary of the fall of Roe v. Wade by calling on all Republican 2024 presidential candidates to vow to push for a "minimum standard" 15-week abortion ban if elected.
