Democrats are now hoping to siphon votes from Trump by pushing to get anti-abortion third-party candidate on ballot

In a new roundabout strategy to defeat Donald Trump in November, some Democrats are promoting an anti-abortion candidate to capitalize on the former president’s wishy-washy stance and potentially even siphone votes from the Republican ticket, according to a report.

Randall Terry launched a presidential bid as part of the Constitution Party, which touts itself as “the only national party who is 100% Pro-Life.”

Terry founded Operation Rescue, an organization known for blocking access to abortion clinics, and on his campaign website describes pro-abortion folks as “baby killers.”

As Kamala Harris and Tim Walz make reproductive rights a fixture of their campaign — and just announced a 50-stop “Fighting for Reproductive Freedom” bus tour — it may seem odd that some Democrats are now aiding Terry to get on the ballot as a third-party candidate. But that is exactly what is happening, according to the New York Times.

Some Democratic donors and operatives seem to believe that Terry presents an interesting opportunity to entice conservatives who prioritize the abortion issue and steer them away from Trump, whose stance on the matter has varied.

When asked whether he thought there was a chance that Democrats were organizing his efforts without his knowledge, he told The Independent: “That is possible.” He also said he understood their thought process behind these efforts, acknowledging the former president’s flip-flopping: “Donald Trump has enraged pro-lifers...I’m very upset with Trump’s waffling.”

The Democrats’ interests, though, are at odds with his own: “I want Kamala to lose way more than I want Trump to win.”

Democrats are reportedly exploring two strategies to benefit Terry. The first is geared toward funding his ballot
