Republican strategists are increasingly worried that abortion politics will cost the party a chance to regain a Senate majority after the GOP lost a seat in the chamber in 2022.

But as Democrats prepare to make abortion rights a key issue in 2024, Republican strategists told The Hill the issue was a major factor in the Democratic wins in the Georgia, Nevada and Pennsylvania Senate races that GOP senators should be cautious of.
