Democrats seek midterm course-correct in suburbs
By Julia Manchester - 02/16/22 06:00 AM EST

Democrats are seeking a course correction in the suburbs ahead of November’s midterms as recent elections show the voting bloc beginning to trend Republican.

Suburban voters helped boost Democrats during the 2018 midterms in what was seen as a rebuke of then-President Trump. That rebuke continued in 2020, as the group proved valuable to President Biden’s victory, as well as Democratic wins down the ballot.

But last year’s elections in Virginia and New Jersey saw Republicans make gains with the demographic, thanks in part to mounting frustration with rising prices, coronavirus restrictions and education-related issues. 


Republicans are working to again pin the blame for those frustrations on Democrats ahead of November. Democrats, meanwhile, are working to persuade suburban voters they can be trusted with the issues voters care about most. 

Polling shows Democrats have their work cut out for them. A Harvard CAPS-Harris Poll survey released last month showed that 57 percent of suburban voters said they are more likely to vote for a Republican candidate in the midterms, while 43 percent said they would be more likely to vote for a Democratic candidate.

I never vote on what a politician says, only what they do.....  "Course correction" is nothing more than a con....

And taking their defund the police position in the inner cities so crime can spill over in the suburbs?

I wish them luck

Changing course doesn't work for a sunk ship.

[LMAO]

I think it was the 2002 midterms where every Democrat running wanted to be seen carrying a gun or going hunting.

It didn’t work and I doubt anything they do now will work. They would have to deny their political positions and their past statements on things like inflation, gun control, crime

It was his attempt to counter the charge that he was weak on national defense and it flopped
