Republicans had ample warning that Dobbs would be a big issue in the 2022 election. The Federalist's Mollie Hemingway calls out the GOP's unpreparedness for talking about abortion, and explains how to avoid botching the issue moving forward. She also explains how the models and the polls were mostly right, but how a few minor details became big enough to sway key races. Plus, Trump Attorney Alina Habba joins to discuss what President Trump's new campaign announcement might mean for the relentless left-wing lawfare campaign waged against him.
