But the commission’s move raises new doubts about whether he can muster enough votes to get the post, already a struggle because of Thailand’s deep political divisions. Pita can still be nominated on Thursday when Parliament meets to vote for a new prime minister. Thai media said the court would not make any ruling on Wednesday and that it might need some to consider the issues. Separately, the court also said it would review a complaint that Pita and his party may have violated the law by proposing to amendThailand’s strict legal provision against defaming the monarchy. The alleged violation involves undeclared ownership of media company shares, which are banned for lawmakers.

Voters hear about it more often and that means they're thinking about it more often. Rebecca Deen, a political science professor at UT Arlington, says these more extreme policies have also made the issue of abortion more salient. Main Character of the Day South Florida gives Republicans a playbook for the 2024 election Abortion policies being pushed by Republicans across the country, however, could be tipping many women in these areas squarely out of favor with Republicans. Because suburbs across the country have been shifting politically in the last few elections, voter behavior in these areas can be harder to predict.

But, Sheffield also has a problem with the government interfering in these kinds of decisions. She says it's not something she'd ever consider for herself.
