When Ari Fleischer, press secretary for President George W. Bush, would hold daily briefings, I remember plenty of times when he\u2019d say something and I\u2019d think, \u201cOK, that\u2019s a good quote to build a story around.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Then I\u2019d read the transcript later only to find out that he didn\u2019t say what I <em>thought<\/em> he said, that he talked all around a subject without really saying anything at all.<\/p>\n<p>So it\u2019s unusual when you get a press secretary to utter a declarative sentence \u2014 especially if it\u2019s a frank admission that\u2019s detrimental to their own party. That\u2019s just what Jen Psaki, former press secretary for President Joe Biden, did this week.<\/p>\n<p>In an appearance on NBC\u2019s \u201cMeet The Press,\u201d Psaki referenced a video clip that had just played with House Republican Leader Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) and Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA).<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLook, I think that Democrats, if the election is about who is the most extreme, as we saw, you know, Kevin McCarthy touch on there with Marjorie Taylor Greene, I\u2019ll say her name, sitting over his left side, then they\u2019re going to win,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>Then she went there. \u201cIf it is a referendum on the president, they will lose, and they know that,\u201d Psaki said. \u201cCrime is a huge vulnerability for Democrats, I would say, one of the biggest vulnerabilities.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Indeed it is. And Psaki is exactly right: If voters go to the polls in a mid-term election to express their displeasure with the president, it\u2019ll be a bloodbath for Democrats.<\/p>\n<p>Biden\u2019s approval ratings have been in the dumper ever since he took office, dipping all the way down to the mid-30s. Americans are being crushed by inflation, skyrocketing gasoline and food prices, but soaring crime rates across the country will also be a big driving factor in the November elections, too.<\/p>\n<p>Nationwide polling shows voters see Republicans as more capable to handle public safety \u2014 a recent <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/interactive\/2022\/09\/16\/upshot\/september-2022-times-siena-poll-crosstabs.html\">survey<\/a> by The New York Times\/Siena College released earlier this month showed the GOP holds a 10-point margin.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe full picture on crime rates is nuanced. Homicides soared in 2020 and 2021 before decreasing slightly this year,\u201d the Times wrote. \u201cAn analysis of crime trends in the first half of 2022 by the Council on Criminal Justice, a nonpartisan policy and research group, found that murders and gun assaults in major American cities fell slightly during the first half of 2022, but remained nearly 40 percent higher than before the pandemic. Robberies and some property offenses posted double-digit increases.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The party in the White House almost always loses House and Senate seats in the midterm elections, in which voters often cast their ballots based on kitchen table issues like the economy \u2014 another point Psaki, now a contributor to MSNBC, conceded.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo, yes, the economy is hanging over everything, but you have [to] look at state-by-state factors, and crime is a huge issue in the Pennsylvania race,\u201d Psaki said.<\/p>\n<p>Right again. And a frank admission from a die-hard Democrat.<\/p>\n[embedded content]\n<p><em>The views expressed in this piece are the author\u2019s own and do not necessarily represent those of The Daily Wire.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Joseph Curl has covered politics for 35 years, including 12 years as White House correspondent for a national newspaper.
