Democrats Would Be Fools to Not Be Concerned About GOP Investigations

Democrats have every reason to be afraid. In fact, they should be downright terrified about the party’s political future. Not only are they set to lose big in the upcoming congressional elections, but Republicans are also already preparing a series of investigations that will undoubtedly make President Joe Biden, their fearless leader, appear to be even worse than he has already made himself look.
Yet, if a recent report is to be believed, the White House appears to be unconcerned about the impending investigations. It is highly likely that this administration is actually clueless enough to believe that they have nothing to worry about. But if they are smart, they might just be projecting confidence in public while nervously wringing their hands in private.
Politico published a piece indicating that the Biden administration believes the upcoming investigations that will likely begin next year will work in its favor.
“There is a growing confidence in the White House that the House Republicans clamoring for a hodgepodge of investigations will overreach — and that their attempts will backfire politically, with key voters recoiling at blatant partisan rancor,” the author wrote. “Officials believe they can use GOP efforts to their political advantage heading into the 2024 cycle, betting a pro-Trump Republican conference fixated on Biden will elevate ‘ultra-MAGA Republicans’ and provide a useful foil for Biden, allowing him to draw sharp contrasts between his governing and their obfuscating.”
A White House ally told the news outlet that Republicans’ “sense for what will resonate with middle-of-the-road folks [is wrong]” and that these investigations are “not going to be the kind of extremist performance that these hearings will likely end up being.”
