Tim Sheehy in Montana and Bernie Moreno in Ohio have both criticized women for being “single-issue voters” on abortion in two races that could determine Senate control.
This article was originally published by The 19th. The Republican candidates challenging two of the most vulnerable Democratic U.S. senators in the country have both criticized women for being too focused on abortion rights. The statements from Tim Sheehy in Montana and Bernie Moreno in Ohio show how Republicans in competitive races are struggling to connect with voters, particularly women, on the issue of abortion this cycle. It is the first presidential election after the fall of Roe v.
Sheehy’s campaign did not respond to a request from The 19th to comment on his remarks or to the Daily Montanan for a story they published late last week detailing his statements. His campaign did not dispute the validity of the recordings when contacted by NBC News. “Tim Sheehy calling young women ‘indoctrinated’ because they value reproductive freedom just goes to show how out of touch he is with Montanans,” Monica Robinson, a spokesperson for Tester’s campaign, told The 19th.
