He'd struggle to get 1% of the primary vote. What is the point in these clowns running for candidacy? Do they truly believe they have a chance? Is it narcissism? Is it to grift and/or further one's own brand/career?

Idaho becomes one of the most extreme anti-abortion states with law restricting travel for abortions

Idaho has become the first state to pass a law explicitly restricting some out-of-state travel for abortions.

The new legislation makes helping a pregnant minor get an abortion, whether through medication or a procedure, in another state punishable by two to five years in prison. Gov. Brad Little, a Republican, signed the bill on Wednesday night, and it goes into effect after 30 days.

Abortion has been banned at all stages of pregnancy in Idaho since August — a result of the Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe v. Wade. Terminating a pregnancy is illegal in the state unless it saves the life of the mother or in cases of rape and incest in which the survivor has reported the incident to law enforcement.

“Giving them [minors] money, giving them a ride, helping them organize the visit to a doctor out of state — all of the activity that’s required to help a young person leave the state — any of that would be punishable,” said Elisabeth Smith, the director of U.S. state policy and advocacy at the Center for Reproductive Rights.

This is why the GOP will continue to struggle in general elections. This is draconian. And exit polling since ROE v Wade was dismantled has clearly shown that the majority of populace does not support this nuttery. Even in deep red states where abortion measures have reached the ballots its been proven.

Now you give a teen some cash for yardwork, or babysitting, or something innocuous and they use that money to go out of state to get an abortion etc. that could be a crime? I mean its just insane. You might not even mean to be indirectly paying for an out of state trip but they use the money you gave them.

No way this survives a judicial challenge.

Fortunately, for advocates of restricting abortions, Idaho is immune from voters voting for Dems there.

Biden is 34-48 in the same poll, not exactly stellar numbers.

Nope.

e - but as someone has just said right now on MSNBC, 25% represents a fringe general election candidate especially with almost no undecideds anymore.

Gavin 24. A notable lack of criticism for Trump, but plenty of swipes at DeSantis starting at 8:23
