A former adviser for President Bill Clinton and Hillary Clinton says that the Supreme Court draft decision overturning Roe v. Wade was leaked in an effort to energize liberal voters ahead of the midterms.

Fox News reports:

“The leak of the … potential Supreme Court decision was, I think, clearly designed to affect both the court, and I think perhaps the midterms,” Harris Poll chairman and Stagwell CEO Mark Penn told Fox News. “I think that Democrats were rather lackluster going into these midterms, had kind of a feeling of growing defeat coming.”

“This is going to provide an ability for Democrats to energize their base somewhat more than was going to happen without this,” Penn added. “I think that that breathed new life into Democratic hopes for those midterm elections.”

“I don’t think the most unprecedented leak in history in the Supreme Court happened because somebody was careless and left this decision on the desk somewhere,” Penn told Fox News, noting that the draft was circulated in February. “I think somebody really planned this out, looked for the right timing and put it out and maybe was fishing for it.”

“We’ll probably have more fundraising than ever, and I suspect even more turnout in a midterm election than ever as a result of this leak,” Penn added. “It’s really going to go through the roof on both sides.”

He also predicted the issue is likely to energize suburban females, a group that Donald Trump saw his support decline in during the last election.

“Suburban women are going to be somewhat cross pressured as a result of this,” he continued. “They favor Republicans on economic issues, but they favor Democrats on an issue like choice.”
