The election ends in Florida and Nevada affirm that voters don’t see their assist of abortion rights at odds with their assist of Donald Trump, who has bragged about overturning Roe v. Wade.

By Jasmine Mithani and Shefali Luthra, The nineteenth

Individuals throughout the nation forged votes to revive abortion entry whereas additionally siding with President-elect Donald Trump on the prime of the ticket. Within the first presidential election since Roe v. Wade was overturned, many counties throughout the nation noticed a major purple shift this 12 months. Almost each demographic was extra supportive of Trump than in 2020, regardless of widespread assist for reproductive rights and Vice President Kamala Harris centering the problem in her marketing campaign.

Abortion poll measures succeeded in 7 of the ten states that had one this November. Analyzing the outcomes of these initiatives in a number of states the place Trump received reveals that Democrats weren’t capable of persuade massive swaths of the citizens that defending abortion rights rested on electing Harris.

Extra folks voted for the poll measures than Harris in each county in Nevada, and all save one in Florida. Efforts to safe reproductive rights in Nevada succeeded, whereas Modification 4 in Florida fell simply wanting the state’s 60 p.c threshold to move.

In Florida and Nevada, the counties the place a majority of individuals voted in favor of abortion poll measures moved additional towards Trump this 12 months than those who voted towards them. In contrast with 2020, Trump gained a median of 4 factors in Florida counties the place the bulk voted to move Modification 4, whereas counties opposed moved a median of three factors.

“One of the values we really held true to this cycle was not making it a partisan conversation and making it about health care access,” mentioned Lauren Brenzel, who ran Florida’s Sure on 4 marketing campaign. “It isn’t partisan on the individual level.”

Nevada counties that voted to move the state’s abortion poll measure additionally moved extra in direction of Trump this 12 months than those who didn’t. In Clark and Washoe, the most important counties within the state, the measure received handily with over 60 p.c of the vote in every. Whereas Harris is main each counties on the time of publication, Trump’s margins have elevated since 2020.

Although most individuals who favored abortion rights voted for Harris, Trump additionally boasted comparatively sturdy assist from these voters — 40 p.c of those that mentioned abortion needs to be authorized most often and 15 p.c of those that assist legality in all instances — per an evaluation of AP VoteCast knowledge by KFF, a nonpartisan well being coverage analysis, journalism and polling group. The information means that Trump’s claims he wouldn’t signal a nationwide abortion ban that anti-abortion leaders have requested for persuaded a minimum of some voters, mentioned KFF pollster Ashley Kirzinger. 


Abortion rights activists maintain indicators studying “Abortion is Healthcare” as they rally in Miami, Florida, after the overturning of Roe v. Wade.

“For those voters that wanted abortion access, it’s not their most important voting issue and they trust former President Trump on his word that he will leave it up to the states,” Kirzinger mentioned. “In miraculous form, Trump was able to stay on message on abortion — and where he stood on abortion and his message about leaving it up to the states was really effective.”

Since Roe v. Wade fell in 2022, abortion rights constantly received when voters received the possibility to weigh in immediately — a sample that solely ended this Election Day, with losses in Florida, Nebraska and South Dakota. Kirzinger mentioned these earlier wins may have satisfied voters who assist abortion legality that leaving the query as much as the states would imply entry was safe — and that voting for Trump wouldn’t threaten abortion rights.

Abortion wasn’t the highest situation for a lot of the citizens, regardless of Harris staking her marketing campaign on reproductive rights. It was a chief concern for a lot of ladies and LGBTQ+ folks, however polling constantly confirmed the financial system ranked as the very best concern for voters total. Solely 12 p.c of Trump supporters in favor of abortion entry ranked it as one of many prime 5 points driving their vote, per a nationwide survey fielded in April by nonpartisan public opinion analysis agency PerryUndem. Eighty-two p.c cited the financial system and price of residing as an element.

“Remember, Trump said he’d veto any abortion ban. His supporters trust him and believe he’ll follow through on what he says,” wrote Tresa Undem, co-founder of PerryUndem, in a post-election evaluation.

Trump’s stance on abortion will not be as clear as his messaging advised. Former advisers to Trump have voiced assist for utilizing federal businesses such because the Meals and Drug Administration to restrict abortion nationally, and even for reviving an 1800s anti-obscenity regulation often called the Comstock Act to ban the process. However many citizens haven’t related that to Trump personally.

“The lack of understanding around abortion care in general is so hard,” Brenzel mentioned. “Part of what we saw this election is people really feel like the Democrats — I’m not speaking to ballot initiatives — that the Democrats are hyperbolic, and that nothing’s going to be that bad.”
