President Biden’s campaign for reelection sees an opportunity in Florida after the state Supreme Court approved a Republican-backed law that bans abortion after six weeks of pregnancy.
Despite previous Republican wins in elections, Biden’s team believes that opposition to strict abortion limits could change how Florida votes.
In a memo outlining their plan, the campaign focuses on making abortion rights a key issue in Florida’s next election cycle. With Trump supporting the abortion ban, Democrats hope to get their supporters to vote and convince undecided voters.
Florida has 30 Electoral College votes, making it important in presidential elections. Republicans have been strong in recent years, but Democrats want to challenge this by using issues like abortion.
Alongside abortion rights, Biden’s campaign also plans to talk about other important topics in Florida. These include healthcare, gun violence, LGBTQ rights, and education.

Florida’s political situation shows bigger divides in society, with arguments over culture and policies continuing.
The state Supreme Court’s choice also lets voters decide if they want to make recreational marijuana legal, adding more to the state’s politics.
Biden’s government has been pushing for changes to marijuana laws at the national level.
Even though Biden’s team faces a challenge from a mostly Republican group of voters, they feel hopeful about how they’ll do in Florida. They want to use the public’s feelings about strict abortion laws and other big arguments to get more support in the election.
