You know the left is starting to panic when their mouthpieces in the media are openly panicking on national television. The latest evidence of this came on Monday night’s edition of NBC Nightly News when their chief White House correspondent Kristen Welker shared the party’s fears about their prospects in the looming midterm elections in November.
Welker summarized the grave situation Democrat candidates are in this November: “tensions are mounting inside the Democratic Party and White House. With a growing cascade of crises, including the President's handling of border policy, soaring inflation, and fears of a recession.”
To make matters worse, Welker mentioned a recent NBC News poll that revealed “75 percent of adults believe the country is headed in the wrong direction. And many place the blame squarely on the President and his party.”
“Now, some Democrats are bracing for big midterm losses like they suffered under former President Obama two years after he was elected,” Welker fretted referring to the 2010 midterm elections in which the Democrats lost 63 House seats and six Senate seats in a Republican tidal wave which saw many first time candidates run for office.
According to Welker, President Biden will continue his strategy of attacking Republicans over their support for life in light of the pending Supreme Court decision on Roe v. Wade: “two top Biden aides tell NBC News, moving forward, the President will double down on his attempts to draw a sharp contrast with Republicans, including on social flashpoints like abortion.”
Showing how oblivious he is, Welker reported that Biden “will continue to try to paint some in the GOP as ultra-MAGA, a term Democrats developed with focus groups over six months” despite many conservatives who have embraced the name.
Before tossing back to anchor Lester Holt, Welker reported that Biden will be hitting the campaign trail this fall to help elect Democrats to Congress but she remarked that “with his low approval rating, some Democrats may say thanks, but no thanks.”
