WATCH: RepNancyMace blames abortion for influencing swing voters in midterms
"It’s the reason we didn’t get more of a majority. We could have had a two dozen seat majority, but we don’t. This was an issue top of mind for swing voters," Mace told NBC host Chuck Todd.She cautioned that the issue could be a problem in the upcoming presidential election as well."When you’re looking ahead to ’24, going to the extremes and digging in there isn’t going to work for most people," she said.
"When I look at every issue, not just on Roe v Wade, but every issue, we’re so divided," she told Todd."I sometimes joke that [Joe Manchin] is the most popular Republican in the Senate right now, but to hear him talk about these issues in a very refreshing, balanced way, is the way both sides of the aisle need to approach every issue."
"Both sides are afraid of their primaries. That’s not the way we should be operating, but the vast majority vote out of legislative fear," she said.Mace then defended her ability to fend off primary challengers. ABC News exit poll results showed that abortion ranked as a strong second to the top issue of inflation for many Americans, especially those under 30 years old.
