Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Senator Bernie Sanders on Tuesday called on Democrats to challenge one of their own, Senator Kyrsten Sinema, when she is up for re-election in 2024 because of her resistance to ending the Senate’s 60-vote threshold to protect abortion rights.
The progressives’ comments come after Politico reported it had obtained a draft majority opinion of the justices that would strike down the 1973 Roe v. Wade ruling, touching off demonstrations outside the Supreme Court. The court confirmed in a statement Tuesday that the draft opinion is authentic but not final.
