Abortion offers a glimpse into what these potential candidates see as their strengths and how they might try to separate from the pack.

“Abortion is a gift. It’s the easiest thing to go into another state to talk about,” said Celinda Lake, a 2020 Biden campaign pollster and the president of Lake Research Partners. “If you came into another state and talked about your miracle economic policies or energy development, these voters might not be interested.”
“I am always going to be a fighter for them, for their generation, for their rights — rights I always could count on when I was growing up in this country that are now very much in jeopardy,” she told POLITICO. Still, Pritzker and Newsom say they, too, are on the front lines because their states are seeing an influx of women from red states seeking abortion and follow-up care.
“He’s the future head of the party, you’re not going to send Biden down here, Biden has his own race to run,” said Horn, who noted that Newsom is term-limited and will leave office in early 2027. “If you’re trying to convince donors that you have what it takes to deliver a national message, you’ll do a lot when you have no risk.”
Think Big America, the advocacy organization Pritzker founded, gave $1 million to the group and is providing staff advising the effort.
