Democrats frustrated by party’s response to abortion ruling

FILE - Sen. Michael Bennet, D-Colo., speaks during a Senate Finance Committee hearing on Capitol Hill in Washington, May 12, 2021. Bennett may represent a state that has voted solidly Democratic recently, but he could be vulnerable in November if his party gets hammered. The GOP nominated a challenger to Bennet who, unusually for a Republican, supports a ban on later-term abortions but otherwise supports abortion rights. (AP Photo/Susan Walsh, Pool, File)

Lauer and Johnson pressed Bennet to be more aggressive responding to the Supreme Court's ruling last month revoking the constitutional right for women to obtain an abortion. (AP Photo/Nick Riccardi)
