The Washington Post and Politico outlined President Biden's strategy and challenges going into the midterms, forecasting that he and his aides are going to largely make the contest about former President Donald Trump.
Politico White House bureau chief Jonathan Lemire wrote Monday that Biden's aides were looking at "turning the campaign into a contrast with Donald Trump and the Republicans." The piece, headlined, "Bidenworld wants to make the midterms more about Trump and hopes Elon Musk helps," opens by noting that Democrats have "struggled to overcome" economic challenges.
Midterms historically do not favor the sitting president's party and analysts have continuously predicted a midterm bloodbath for the Democrats as high gas prices, inflation and a border crisis looms over the Biden White House.
The outlet reported that other White House efforts to re-imagine the midterm strategy have failed.
"The White House has been overtaken by outside forces, leaving the president unable to stay on message and Democrats frustrated with a lack of direction coming from the West Wing," Lemire said.
