The primary season is over, and six months of intraparty political squabbles have demonstrated one basic thing: The Democrats are in better health than previously believed for the November elections.
USA Today published a centrist article about how many analysts currently believe that Democrats will maintain control of the U.S. Senate following a succession of primaries. According to polls and political pundits, the Republicans are still expected to take back control of the U.S. House, but Democrats are now in an excellent position to win a number of big-state governorships and increase their as-slim-as-possible lead in the U.S. Senate.
A left-leaning article from Bloomberg highlights how New Hampshire has voted for Democrats for president five times in a row and defeated Donald Trump by seven percentage points in 2020. Democratic Senator Maggie Hassan and both the state's House Democrats were considered highly vulnerable this year. Instead of capitalizing on this vulnerability, Republicans chose Trump-aligned candidates in all three contested seats.
A right-leaning article from Fox News highlights how inflation poses "huge political risks" for the Biden administration, writes John Olsen. "Democrats might still do better than expected in the midterms, but they will not be able to wish away the inflation issue before votes are cast." Olsen: Rising prices will force Biden to decide whether to run for re-election. He also slams the Fed for not taking rising prices seriously enough, thus delaying action. The bad news for Democrats is that it is likely to get worse next year.
