NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
During MSNBCs "The ReidOut" Friday night, Democratic pollster and strategist Fernand Amandi urged Democratic voters to understand that if Roe v Wadeis dismantled later this year, "theocracy" is on the ballot in the upcoming midterm elections.
"The ReidOut" substitute host Jason Johnson began the segment by prompting Amandi on whether the leak of the Supreme Court draft opinion portending the end of Roe v Wadewould help Democrats in the polls.
"Where do we need to look,because theres just polling out now,thats just broke this week, where would we need tolook in polling across thecountry to think or to realizethat that ruling is actuallygonna help Democrats? Or doesit not really end up having thatmuch of an impact on criticalSenate races in Wisconsin andFlorida and Pennsylvania?" he asked.
"We in the research communityare all looking at the genericcongressional ballot, andobviously the state horse races where theSenate races are taking place,but in the generic congressional,which right now is not lookinggreat for the Democrats," Amandi continued.

"If we see movement there andsignificant movement, Im talking three, four, fivepoints, that will start toindicate they may haveoverstepped their boundaries," he added, speaking of potential polling in the wake of the leak.
Moving on from the polls, Amandi then urged voters to wake up to the stakes of the upcoming midterm elections, especially considering the potential end of Roe v Wade.
"But Jason, let me tell you and America one of the greatconcerns about this revelationthis week.For 50 years, since Roe v Wade wasmade law, theyve been workingfor this moment to undo this," he said.
He continued, "But at the same time for 50 years,they have been warned, if youdo this step you will incitethe women of the United States to come after you en masse andyou will never hold office again."

Amandi then gave his stark warning. "And that is why right now, it isso fundamentally important,democracy is no longer on theballot anymore for 2022. Itsnow theocracy thats also onthe ballot."
The pollster then sounded the alarm about what would happen to Americans if Republicans made gains in Congress in the upcoming elections.
"If they win the majority ofany control of Congress, anyhouse of Congress, they aregoing to use that as a mandate tosay all of the protections thathave happened the last 50 years,weve been now told by theAmerican people, you can undothose," Amandi declared.
