GOP believes Democrats handing them winning 2022 campaign
By Brett Samuels - 04/18/21 06:27 PM EDT Republicans are riding high about their prospects for retaking both chambers of Congress in the upcoming midterms, thanks to the abundant campaign fodder they believe Democrats and the Biden administration have handed them in recent weeks.
Conservatives pointed to the surge of migrants at the southern border; difficulties getting kids back in school for in-person learning amid the pandemic; massive spending from the White House and Democratic-controlled Congress; the inclusion of progressive priorities in infrastructure and economic relief bills; and most recently a push among some Democrats to expand the Supreme Court as actions that will offer campaign fodder for Republicans in the months to come.
Some GOP lawmakers are gloating over their prospects even though the 2022 midterms are still 19 months away.
“This is going to be like 2010, 2012, 2014 where we pick up seats because of Obama’s agenda,†Sen. Rick Scott (R-Fla.), head of the Republican Senate’s campaign arm, said on Hugh Hewitt’s radio show Friday.
