Democrats will struggle in the 2022 midterms. The midterms frequently go against the president’s party and are compounded by Joe Biden’s poor performance and the Democrats’ turmoil.
Many Democrats have already declared their resignations. According to the most recent count, 23 House Democrats have stated they will not run for re-election next year, with more to come after the holidays.
Some perceive the apocalypse as approaching and refuse to wait.
23 House Democrats will not be running for reelection in 2022.

Turmoil Within
Yet now, there are rumors of much greater turmoil. According to Politico, there are issues between candidates in crucial swing states and the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, which is meant to assist them to win.
The candidates believe the committee and its leader, Sean Patrick Maloney, harm their chances. “It’s a big f**king problem,” said one member.
Holy hell – an absolutely brutal takedown of the @dccc —> https://t.co/iRhBpNmNzc

Six committee members talked to Politico under the condition of confidentiality about the difficulties they were having with the body. They claimed there was too much emphasis on Donald Trump and not enough on the fiscal problems people are concerned about.
According to the member who used the f-bomb, it’s insane the DCCC is putting out a strategy they are well aware does not work and one they have actively discouraged people from using.
It also presses the controversial topic of abortion, which some members would want to stay away from at all costs. The member stated he wouldn’t go out there and slam pro-lifers and warned doing so would be a significant error in his district.
They also forced them to accept a $3.5 trillion budget plan that might harm their districts, while the committee threatened to withhold funds if they didn’t vote for it. The DCCC denies it.
They believed Maloney was standing with the leadership, not assisting them. Less moderate or purple members note Maloney is much more left-wing and does not realize it doesn’t advance the left-wing agenda.
One legislator added his biggest flaw is targeting frontline personnel with a different viewpoint. To win purple and red districts, Democrats must separate themselves from one another.
He is a member of the “party purity” march to secure their deep minority. The members suspected Maloney was utilizing the position for personal gain, not necessarily for re-election.
Coercing Endorsement
These assertions were met with a strong response from the committee. The committee pushed susceptible Democrats to endorse Maloney as a strategy. Pelosi and a half dozen others did.
Democrat Rep. Elaine Luria stated Sean is a fantastic leader who inspires them to do their best for their districts. However, there are many concerns; otherwise, people wouldn’t be telling Politico what a significant issue it is.
These moderates realize they are taking a risk. This underscores a more substantial problem with American voters: the notion Democrats are too radical and the programs they promote don’t work.
That’s why surveys show voters leaning Republican. Voters regard the Democrats as failing on the economy and crime. Both parties are in jeopardy, especially those in moderate or red regions.
Add it to the list of factors building towards a gigantic red wave.
