Everyone seemed pretty shocked yesterday when a ballot measure in Kansas won by a 'landslide' to keep abortion legal (59% voted to keep it legal, 41% illegal).
Given Kansas is often viewed as a 'red' state (Trump won in 2020 against Biden, Republicans have a supermajority in the Kansas House and Senate, though the state currently has a Democratic governor), this seems to have come as a shock to many people, even veteran political operatives.
People are saying this may cause the Dems to run fairly hard on legal-abortion in the midterms, when previously Dem leadership has typically tried to avoid talking about the issue of abortion or saying the word.
