The group, Stand Up America, is kicking off the $1 million campaign on the second anniversary of the Dobbs v. Jackson decision, which overturned the right to an abortion and convulsed the country’s politics in its aftermath.
For years, Republicans have made the courts — especially the Supreme Court — a central issue in federal elections.
The vacancy on the Supreme Court during the 2016 election was a central force behind Donald J. Trump’s victory.
Among voters who said the Supreme Court was the “most important factor” in their decision, 56 percent cast a ballot for Mr. Trump, according to exit polls.
This year, Democrats are trying to harness that same energy: Though there is no current vacancy on the court, there is potential for a president to make appointments in the next administration.
