The Washington Examiner’s Kaylee McGhee White explained Tuesday on Fox Business Tonight that some of the top Democratic state leaders are out of touch with voters.
Asked how the recent Supreme Court ruling overturning Roe v. Wade may affect primary elections, White agreed that it might, but it likely won’t have much influence on the midterm elections.

“Even in these deep blue states, the voters tend to be much more moderate on the issue of abortion than the leaders,” she explained. “There was actually a recent poll in Illinois that found that 40% of voters identified as pro-choice but with restrictions.”
“I don’t think that [Illinois governor] J. B. Pritzker could say the same. He’s removed restrictions on late-term abortions. He also removed certain criminal penalties for abortionists who perform them,” White added. “He’s really out of step with a lot of the voters on this issue. As is [New York governor Kathy] Hochul over in New York.”
Later, she was asked if President Joe Biden could see a comeback in his poll numbers in the last two years of his term, similar to former President Ronald Reagan. “I think that would be a stretch. I think the economic conditions that we’re facing right now are significantly different,” White responded. “I mean, most economists are predicting some sort of recession either in 2023 or even into 2024. So really, the last two years of Joe Biden’s presidency are already looking bad.”
She then predicted that Republicans would succeed in taking back the House of Representatives by “about a dozen, but that might be a little bit too hopeful.” In terms of the Senate, she was less hopeful. “You already have some really vulnerable Republican candidates who are heading to the polls, and it’s going to be hard to hold on to the seats that we have in the first place,” White explained.

According to her, it would be reasonable to look to retain the current GOP minority in the Senate.
