Bernie Sanders, James Carville warn Democrats against going all-in on abortion: 'Political malpractice'
Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-VT., and Democratic strategist James Carville both warned against Democrats going all-in on abortion and ignoring economic issues ahead of the midterms. "But, as we enter the final weeks of the 2022 midterm elections, I am alarmed to hear the advice that many Democratic candidates are getting from establishment consultants and directors of well-funded Super Pacs that the closing argument of Democrats should focus only on abortion," Sanders wrote in an op-ed on Monday for The Guardian. Sanders said it was "political malpractice" to ignore the economy but emphasized abortion should remain a top issue. "I believe that if Democrats do not fight back on economic issues and present a strong pro-worker agenda, they could well be in the minority in both the House and the Senate next year," he wrote. U.S.
