Jean-Pierre spikes football on GOP after election night, cites 'extreme' policy that gave Dems an edge

White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre spiked the football on Republicans following Democrats' largely positive election night results, citing abortion as a major factor.

Jean-Pierre cited Ohio voters overwhelmingly approving a ballot initiative that enshrined the "right" to an abortion in the state constitution, defining it as a rejection of "attempts by Republican elected officials to impose extreme abortion bans since the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade."  Brandon Gillespie is an associate editor at Fox News. Follow him on Twitter at @brandon_cg.

"From Kentucky to Virginia to Pennsylvania, voters in those states also turned out to roundly reject abortion bans that jeopardized the health and the lives of women, force women to travel hundreds of miles for care and threatened to criminalize doctors and nurses," she said despite Kentucky already having a near total abortion ban in place.
