Democratic Party officials nationwide are anxious about their prospects in this year's Congressional midterm elections, though they're hopeful about running on President Biden's agenda. They are also trying to capitalize on warmer views of his handling of Russia's invasion of Ukraine - and negative views of former President Trump's praise of Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Attendees at the Democratic National Committee's Winter Meeting in Washington, D.C., acknowledged the combination of factors ahead of them, namely the usual historical headwinds for the party in power and the rising cost of living caused by inflation and gas prices.
"It's not so much that we are afraid but we are anxious. We want to get moving because things change so quickly. Gas prices go up. Something good happens. Back and forth. We've got so many unpredictable things leading up to it," said Janet Bewley, the top Democrat in Wisconsin's Senate. "Everybody wants to work to get their voters identified and ready to be motivated."

"At a time when food and gas prices are rising, if you can lower other major costs for families, you can help their standard of living," he said, referencing the push to lower prescription drug prices and cost of child care.
He labeled the rising gas prices "Putin's price hikes at the pump" and said that "as painful as the price is today, the costs are going to be higher if we do not act now to deal with this tyrant."
DNC Chair Jamie Harrison also blamed Putin's invasion of Ukraine for the spiking gas prices and believes voters have made the same connection, blaming him instead of Mr. Biden.

It’s the economy, stupid.
I said to a close relative, “if you voted for Biden you are responsible for inflation, food and gas prices, all of it.”
They said to me, “I just heard though that Biden has brought the world together to fight Russia.”
There’s everyone’s answer.
Has anybody seen anything good happening during Brandon's watch? I cannot think of a single good thing. Not one. It's been a fast one-way fast slide to oblivion.
Eternal vigilance. If those who would corrupt our elections fear making a new attempt, the pedocrats won’t have a chance come November, they are hated so much at a national level, even by lefttards.
I saw a human think he could ride a C-17 at altitude...
So they went to Philly for their retreat and learned nothing. Could not happen to a worse group of evil people.

Of course probably 50% of America has no idea what is happening in Ukraine or very little understanding. But they do understand inflation and high gas prices. And gas prices are going to go higher this summer as they always do.
Oh, certainly. Pfizer and Moderna made mega millions off the terrified public. Otherwise, it's been a total disaster. Let's go Brandon! Let's go Chlamydia! Let's go Nanzi!
Let them buy Teslas.
Democrats’ campaign -
“Its Trump’s fault for _________”.(fill in the blank)
Most people spent the year n lockdown - lowering their standard of living.
We finally got out of that and we get out of control inflation.
I, for one, am tired of lowering my standard of living - while politicians and elites continue to INCREASE theirs, then LECTURE us about going without..
RUN!
