In a normal political year, being chair of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) would be a political plum, but in 2022 it is more like being the captain of the Titanic. And the “passengers” (Democrats in the House seeking re-election) are starting to grumble that the captain is commandeering his own lifeboat.
That’s roughly the situation facing Sean Patrick Maloney, chairman of the DCCC, which allocates party funds to incumbents seeking re-election. Polling voters on their support for a generic Democrat running against a Republican yields horrific results for Dems.
Punchbowl News: DCCC internal polling “finds that in battleground districts, the generic Republican is beating the generic Democrat, 47-39, according to lawmakers, multiple party officials and the DCCC.”

What I am seeing is “Damn the Torpedoes, full steam ahead”.
Almost like they have charts showing all the reefs & shoals.
My best guess is, they do.
I think the circular firing squad is going to be at Maloney because he is probably assigning a lot of money to his own run for congress. I am sure there are plenty of Democrats screaming for funds and not getting what “they” consider their fair share.
Well the good news is Nasty Nadler is history, as is Majority leader Pelosi.
Think the inverse of this situation within the RINO party’s “controlled opposition” to Dim rule. They channeled money to themselves and circled the wagons tighter each losing cycle, all the while ensuring their own reelection and enriching their allies.
Gingrich broke the chain, but it survived until Trump — and to this day. This fight must be won.
