Description
A week ago, we laid out the thinking of some top Democratic strategists
who are suddenly imagining a scenario in which the party defies history
and holds Congress in the midterms. Over the past few days, we checked
in with an array of Republican operatives about whether they think the
GOP could actually blow this.
Even after the RNC’s “legitimate political discourse” debacle two
weekends ago, the answer almost across the board was an adamant “no.”

Jan. 6, 2022: Jan. 6 is about Donald Trump: For those who always despised him, feel betrayed by him, or fear his return to power, today is about remembering — never forgetting — Donald Trump's lowest point as president: the day he incited a mob to attack Congress while it affirmed Joe Biden's clear victory, the final desperate move in a plot to overthrow an American presidential election. For those who love him, merely tolerate him, or crave his return to the White House, today is a media stunt: a contrived anniversary of an insignificant event boosted by Democrats and the press to punish Republicans and cynically advance Biden’s legislative priorities. by POLITICO Playbook Daily Briefing
