They benefited from falling gas prices, a rash of legislation, a foolish but popular student debt bailout, several weak GOP candidates, and voter backlash to the reversal of <em>Roe <\/em>v. <em>Wade<\/em>. Now it&#8217;s autumn, and there is a chill in the air and a change in the political temperature. Republicans, the polls suggest, have a path to a Senate majority. They are on track to take the House. The GOP has recovered from its <a href=\"https:\/\/freebeacon.com\/columns\/the-gop-summer-swoon\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">summer swoon<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The revival began two weeks ago. Encouraging words came from an unlikely source. On September 12, Nate Cohn of the <em>New York Times<\/em> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2022\/09\/12\/upshot\/polling-midterms-warning.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">wrote<\/a> that polls may be underestimating the GOP yet again in states like Wisconsin, Ohio, North Carolina, and Florida. When a potential polling error is considered, Cohn went on, Republicans appear much more likely to take over Capitol Hill.<\/p>\n<p>Cohn is neither a partisan nor an ideologue. He plays it straight. But his analysis launched the sort of conversation about polling error that Republicans love. Cohn reinforced the right&#8217;s longstanding suspicion that GOP voters do not talk to pollsters. So long as the final polls are within the margin of error, this thinking goes, Republicans have a chance of a victory.<\/p>\n<p>Then, on September 15, Governor Ron DeSantis of Florida <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2022\/09\/14\/politics\/marthas-vineyard-massachusetts-migrants-planes\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">upended the electoral cycle<\/a>. His one simple trick: sending a plane of Venezuelan asylum-seekers to Martha&#8217;s Vineyard. Suddenly, Democratic-friendly topics vanished from the headlines. Abortion, student loans, and Mar-a-Lago disappeared from cable news chyrons. They were replaced by controversy over an issue\u2014border security\u2014that favors the GOP.<\/p>\n<p>The stunt was a public relations coup. It reset the national debate. It sent the left into a frenzy. And it boosted DeSantis&#8217;s star power at just the right moment.<\/p>\n<p>The timing was important. DeSantis&#8217;s move coincided with an increase in GOP Senate advertising. Between September 5 and September 26, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcnews.com\/meet-the-press\/first-read\/gops-recent-spending-advantage-key-senate-races-only-part-story-rcna49565\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">according to AdImpact data reported by NBC News<\/a>, Republicans outspent Democrats on the air in eight of nine competitive Senate races. Arizona was the exception.<\/p>\n<p>Mitch McConnell&#8217;s Senate Leadership Fund (SLF) led the charge.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Not long ago, President Biden and congressional Democrats were riding high.
