Stuart Rothenberg: “Unlike in 2010 and 2018, when the ‘out-party’ successfully made the midterms ‘about’ the president, Republicans have acted in a way that makes 2022 about them rather than about Biden and House Democrats.”
“Trump has signaled he will inject himself into the midterms — both by challenging incumbent Republican officeholders who have criticized him and by reminding voters that he is the leader of the GOP.”
“That could make 2022 ‘about’ Trump and House Republicans like Florida’s Matt Gaetz, Georgia’s Marjorie Taylor Greene and Colorado’s Lauren Boebert and a handful of other current GOP officeholders and candidates instead of about Biden. That’s hardly an ideal situation for Republicans in next year’s election.”
