Dems running away from Biden in 2022
Former White House press secretary Jen Psaki made headlines over the weekend with a prediction that Democrats know "they will lose" if the midterm elections are a referendum on President Joe Biden.
Psaki further opined that Democrats are vulnerable on the issues of crime and the economy, while they hold the high ground on "extremism." While the admission from one of the officials who used to be closest to Biden may have surprised some, there is evidence that both parties agree and are running races based on the parameters Psaki outlined.
"It's a 100% absolutely true statement," said Republican strategist David Carney. "It's what our side has been saying for a long time."
The shaky stock market and inflation are hurting voters' paychecks and leading them to favor Republicans on the economy, Carney argues, while rising crime and spiking illegal immigration rates do the same for those issues.
"Any campaigning on our side that's not talking about this president's incompetence has a good shot at losing," he said.
The incumbent is grappling with an economy beset by high inflation and a job approval rating in the low 40s. A new poll from ABC News and the Washington Post found that 56% of Democratic-registered voters and Democratic-leaning voters want another candidate to top the ticket in 2024. The same poll found that Republicans hold a 22-point advantage on handling crime.
...
I still plan to vote against every Democrat on the ballot. They did this to the country in 2020 by nominating and electing Biden because they hated Trump. Trump was clearly a better President. BTW, The Democrats voted for the big spending packages which caused the inflation. They should be held responsible for that.
