Primary Voters Keep Backing Incumbents

June 22, 2024 · 1:08 pm ET · Leave a Comment

Washington Post: “Both President Biden and ex-president Donald Trump are disliked by a majority of Americans. Barely 1 in 5 voters are satisfied with the direction of the nation. Last month just 13 percent of voters approved of the job Congress is doing, according to Gallup, the 11th straight month that measure came in below 20 percent.”

“And yet, with almost 30 states having held their congressional primary elections, just one lawmaker, Rep. Bob Good (R-VA), has found himself in serious trouble. He trails his opponent by about 300 votes after Tuesday’s primary, and election officials are still counting and might do a full recount.”
