The Republican National Committee (RNC) urged GOP candidates on  Sept. 13 to focus on the economy and rising crime with just two months to go before the 2022 midterms.

A memo sent out (pdf) by the RNC, dated Sept. 13, states that “Democrats and the national media are determined to try and make abortion the top issue ahead of the midterms, however, the media is not on our side, and we do not answer to them but to voters.”
