In recent weeks, there has been a trend of Democratic-backed candidates making gains in seats typically held by Republican-endorsed electives, which could be an early warning sign for the GOP as the November midterms draw nearer, though the party has largely dismissed their impact.
Democratic-backed candidates flipped three seats in mayoral and city council elections in Whittier, California, and at the center of these elections were issues being discussed nationwide, like the impact of federal immigration enforcement as well as the economy.
I’m not disagreeing on specifics, but hating Congress isn’t a new thing. Congress has ALWAYS had a very low approval rating by the voters, no matter which party they belong to, or which party is running things, how the economy is running, whether we have a war, etc. Congress has always sucked, and voters have always hated them, although they always support their own Rep, which is why incumbency is so high, despite the hate.
