Can the Democrats Defy History In the 2022 Midterms?

Doug Sosnik tells Playbook that there would need to be a series of developments in order for the Democrats to defy history:

• The virus needs to be contained with the country returning to a new normal.
• Inflation needs to start going down by summer.
• The economy and the stock market need to maintain steady growth, particularly as interest rates begin to rise.
• The supply chain needs to return to normal.
• There is not a global crisis.
• Biden’s job approval rating needs to be in the high 40s by summer.
• Republicans need to nominate unelectable general-election candidates and run lousy campaigns.
• Trump and Republicans need to keep talking about the 2020 election.
