A Politico report indicates that Democrats are just a bit worried heading into the midterms, with one strategist who advises major donors stating it’s “too late, we’re f***ed.”
The comment came despite victories for the party and their President on an infrastructure and social spending package which had just passed the House at the time.
The report notes that “the Democratic brand is broken” and even a bipartisan legislative victory like the infrastructure bill was doing little to help souring poll numbers.
“In one recent focus group, even those who voted for Joe Biden in 2020 weren’t exactly sure what the party stands for,” they write.
