New York Times: January 6 Hearings ‘Give Democrats a Chance to Recast Midterm Message’Wendell Husebø7 Jun 20221,531

The New York Times on Tuesday admitted the Democrats’ upcoming January 6 Committee hearings are an attempt to “recast” the party’s failing midterm election message against Republicans in order to help Democrats “to stay in power.”
While Republicans are likely to win a huge House majority in November – the best position in over 80 years – the Times acknowledged Democrats are looking to use the January 6 committee to distract from President Biden’s 40-year-high inflation, record high gas prices, supply chain woes, and the Southern border crisis.
“It is an uphill battle at a time when polls show that voters’ attention is focused elsewhere, including on inflation, rising coronavirus cases and record-high gas prices,” the Times said. “But Democrats argue the hearings will give them a platform for making a broader case about why they deserve to stay in power.”
The hearings must remind voters of Trump’s alleged effort to “overturn the election” with a “mob” of supporters who “stormed the Capitol with false claims of a stolen election,” the Times wrote.
According to polling, that will be a difficult task. An NBC News poll shows only 45 percent of Americans find Donald Trump responsible for January 6 protest, declining 7 points since January 2021. Additional polling reveals that 58 percent believe the committee is biased toward Democrats.
