As Supreme Court battle roils DC, suburban voters shrug

OMAHA, Nebraska (AP) — It will probably shift the nation’s highest court for a generation, but President Donald Trump’s move to fill a Supreme Court vacancy is barely cracking the consciousness of some voters in the nation’s top political battlegrounds.

Even among this year’s most prized voting bloc — educated suburban women — there’s no evidence that a groundswell of opposition to a conservative transformation of the judicial branch, which could lead to the erosion or reversal of Roe v. Wade, will significantly alter the trajectory of the midterms, particularly in the House.

Many of those on the left who are already energized to punish Trump’s party this fall remain so. Republicans who are lukewarm on the party’s unfinished business are encouraged by the potential for action.
