Florida Democrats bet abortion will motivate swell of voters who feel bans go ‘too far’

Democrats team up with Biden campaign on issue, believing it will bring victory in presidential and Senate races in November

Democrats in Florida are teaming up with operatives from Joe Biden's re-election campaign in an all-out assault on Republicans' extremist positions on abortion, believing it will bring victory in presidential and US Senate races in November.

They fired an opening salvo on Tuesday, tearing into Donald Trump's boasting" about overturning federal abortion protections a day earlier, and assailing the incumbent Republican senator Rick Scott for supporting Florida's six-week ban that takes effect next month.
