From the Politico article:
Quote
With no consensus on the real reason for the loss in a state dominated by Republicans, some are pleading with the GOP to move away from backing near-total bans with no exemptions to stave off further electoral disaster.


So... even Politico admits that THEY don't know why Democrats did well in the Ohio election. But both the Democrats , and their like-minded idological brethren in the liberal media, WANT the reason to be the abortion issue. And so they propagandize and blame the Democrat victory on Republican support of abortion.

Y'know, as in the 2022 mid-terms, it might have much more to do with the ton of dark money and Bolshevik activiss pouring into these elections, where they are out-spending Republicans by 6 or 10 times what the Republican candidates are able to spend.

Senator Ron Johnson (R-WI), for example, as a popular incumbent should have had an easy re-election win in 2022. But because he was shunned by Mitch McConnell and deprived of GOP Senate funding in the last few weeks of the election (obviously because he was an ally of Donald Trump and not of McConnell), and vastly out spent by the radical Democrat Bolshevik candidate who ran against him, Johnson narrowly won by a fraction of 1% of the vote. In what should have been a Johnson landslide.
AND slander campaigns launched against Johnson in carpet-bombed radio and TV campaign ads, that Johnson was unable to even respond to.

That money is not coming from a motivated wide base of Democrat campaign supporters. It's being funded by dark money from oligarch Democrat-Bolsheviks like Mark Zuckerberg, Bill Gates, and Sam Bankman-Fried.
That's not "the people" speaking. That's the Deep State.

And by the way, Politico (along with New York Times, Washington Post, CNN, MSNBC, ABC, NBC, CBS and PBS, along with Factcheck, Snopes, Politifact, and Google, Facebook, Instagram, etc.etc. ) are all part of that Orwellian Deep State propaganda machine, controlling, manipulating AND CREATING the message, telling you what to think.
Elon Musk, Matt Taibbi and the "Twitter Files" extensively laid out the details of how that state message control was orchestrated.
