As of the end of September, Democrats have already invested over $124 million in abortion-related television advertising mdash; close to 20 times the amount the party spent on abortion ads during the previous midterm elections in 2018.All of that spending is for a reason: They re fighting an uphill battle against historical trends.

Since the end of World War II, the president s party has lost congressional seats in all but two midterm elections.

Earlier today, I was discussing the Democratic primary history and in the course of that discussion mentioned the campaigns that both my husband and Senator Kennedy waged in California in June in 1992 and 1968, and I was referencing those to make the point that we have had nominating primary contests that go into June, Clinton told reporters. That s an historic fact. The Kennedys have been much on my mind in the last days because of Senator Kennedy, and I regret that if my referencing that moment of trauma for our entire nation and particularly for the Kennedy family was in any way offensive.
