Democrats know 'they will lose' if midterms are referendum on Biden, Psaki says
Former White House press secretary Jen Psaki made a confession unfavorable to the Democrats on Sunday, saying they fully know"they will lose" if the 2022 midterm elections are a referendum on President Joe Biden.
Psaki made her prediction during an appearance on NBC's Meet the Press as she shared her opinions on the strengths and weaknesses of the Democrats going into the November elections. In her view, Democrats are vulnerable on the issues of crime and the economy, while they hold the high ground on"extremism.
"So, 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," Psaki said. As press secretary, Psaki was one of the closest officials to Biden. The incumbent is grappling with an economy beset by high inflation and a job approval rating in the low 40s. A new poll from ABC News and the Washington Post found 56% of Democratic-registered voters and Democratic-leaning voters want another candidate to top the ticket in 2024. However, Biden has seen successes in recent months, including the passage of the Inflation Reduction Act.
