Frontline Democrats Freak Out

Punchbowl News: “The roughly 30 House Democrats have long known the political headwinds are against them this year. Redistricting, inflation, the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic, an uneven economy are all big problems. Add to that, the fact that the party in power generally loses seats in the midterms.”

“But many of these vulnerable Democrats returned to Washington after a week at home particularly spooked. Their frustrations are running high. They’re worried about a lack of legislative victories in 2022. And they badly want Democratic leaders and committee chairs to push more bills that help address the concerns of everyday Americans.”

“In other words, these Democrats want their leaders to do something to try to reverse the party’s political fortunes before it’s too late.”
