Looking at this election as an independent I can say one thing. Scare tactics work! The Republican used terrorism to keep majorities in 2002 and to get George W. Bush reelected in 2004. The Democrats used abortion in 2022 and again on 11/7. However like the terrorism threat, the abortion factor will be way overplayed and the majority of Americans like me who support abortion with reasonable restrictions will see past the scare tactics and look at the bigger picture.
