House Republicans Are #OpenToWork as Democrats Gain Momentum Towards a GOP Midterm Wipeout

With Democratic special election victories piling up, Trump’s approval ratings in free fall, and prices skyrocketing with no end in sight, Democrats have all the momentum heading into the final 6 months of the midterm campaign.

Republicans have fallen behind resoundingly on every issue they hoped to leverage in the midterm race: the economy, taxes, immigration, and foreign policy. The result has been an ever-expanding battleground map that threatens dozens of Republican incumbents and sets up the party for their worst midterm loss since 2018.
Even Republicans’ “signature” legislative accomplishment has become a third rail for the party, as their economic message last week oscillated between attacks on the Vatican and finger pointing over FISA.

DCCC Spokesperson Liam Buckley: 
“House Republicans are completely cooked. Democrats are piling up special election victories, raking in campaign cash, and are united behind a message of lowering costs for hardworking families. We’d say Mike Johnson should just throw in the towel, but it feels like he already has.”
