We\u2019ll have to remind people of what that was like. And that sure scares the hell out of me,\u201d Rep. Scott Peters (D-CA) told <a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.com\/news\/2022\/04\/04\/dems-midterm-villain-donald-trump-00022381\">Politico<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor God\u2019s sake, how did we get to the point where \u2026 the base voters are so mad about two of our own senators, rather than Mitch McConnell and Donald Trump and Jan. 6? That is a tremendously mismanaged situation,\u201d he added, likely referring to Democratic Sens. Joe Manchin of West Virginia and Kyrsten Sinema of Arizona who have stifled leftist parts of President Joe Biden\u2019s agenda.<\/p>\n<p>In the 10 most recent polls done on the generic ballot, Republicans have beaten Democrats on eight. The Real Clear Politics (RCP) <a href=\"https:\/\/www.realclearpolitics.com\/epolls\/other\/2022-generic-congressional-vote-7361.html\">average<\/a> of the last 10 polls has the GOP leading Democrats by 3.5 points. In an appearance on Fox Business last week, RCP co-founder Tom Bevan predicted that Democrats were heading for a \u201cwipeout\u201d in 2022.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe number that jumped out to me from the Harvard\/Harris poll was the generic Congressional ballot, Republicans leading by 6 points. But among independents, leading by 18 percentage points on the question of \u2018if the election were held today would you vote for Republican or Democrat?\u2019 That is a massive, national number,\u201d Bevin <a href=\"https:\/\/www.realclearpolitics.com\/video\/2022\/03\/30\/tom_bevan_generic_congressional_ballot_polls_show_wipeout_numbers_for_democrats_in_november.html\">said<\/a>, referring to a Harvard-Harris <a href=\"https:\/\/thehill.com\/homenews\/campaign\/600146-poll-trump-leads-biden-harris-in-2024-matchups\/\">poll<\/a> conducted late last month.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou\u2019ve got to think in swing districts, that number is even more lopsided in the Republicans\u2019 favor,\u201d he added. \u201cThose are wipeout numbers. Those are really catastrophic numbers for the Democrats. They\u2019ve got to do something to turn that around or they\u2019re going to lose big in November.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Democrats are hoping to run against Trump again, despite him being out of the White House and off the ballot. Democrats believe they can fend off the worst of the GOP\u2019s growing electoral wave if they are able to drag Republicans down with voters\u2019 unfavorable views of Trump, harnessing the power of \u201cfear\u201d to propel them to victory.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOne of the things that motivates voters is fear, and a lot of this is causing a lot of fear among not just Democrats but also rational individuals everywhere,\u201d Rep.\u00a0Ted Lieu\u00a0(D-CA) told Politico.<\/p>\n<p>Rep. Bill Pascrell (D-NJ) added: \u201cIf the Democrats lose the majority \u2026 then people are going to truthfully get away with stuff unimaginable.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Biden administration has overseen multiple crises during the first half of his first term, from a chaotic withdrawal from Afghanistan that left 13 American service members dead, to rising prices across the U.S. on everything from fuel to food. The administration is bracing again for a resurgence in illegal immigration over the southern border in response to scrapping Title 42, a Trump-era policy that allows the U.S. to effectively block migrants from entering the country.<\/p>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest growing conservative media companies for breaking news, investigative reporting, sports, podcasts, in-depth analysis, books, and entertainment for a reason: because we believe in what we do.
