Description
All signs point to a typical midterm election this year in which the
president’s party suffers double-digit losses in the House. The GOP has
the big structural advantages on its side: a Democratic president with
low approval ratings, a sour public mood driven by inflation concerns
and an edge in polling on issues like crime, education and immigration
that are proving important to voters in the crucial swing suburbs where
the midterms will be decided.
One of the few ways Republicans could potentially blow this electoral
equivalent of a layup is if former President Donald Trump suddenly
returns to center court.
