Democrats are pressing the White House to try and change the dynamics of the midterms. They fear it’s getting too late.
David Turner, a spokesman for the Democratic Governors Association, downplayed concerns in a statement. “These calls are anything but tense,” he said. “Governors and their teams find these calls useful and productive, and good forums to share information on policies with each other.”
With the 2022 elections four months away, Democrats both inside and outside of the White House acknowledge there is no silver bullet to slay a host of political problems, including surging inflation, high gas prices, a series of stunning Supreme Court decisions and a sense of voter resignation that the party in power built up their expectations only to let them down.
“Everybody always feels like the greatest enemy to any administration or to progress is time. The challenge is that the arc of governing doesn’t always adhere to Twitter time,” said Robert Gibbs, who served as press secretary to former President Barack Obama. “Right now, there’s a balancing act between the administration wanting to make steady progress because there aren’t quick solutions to a lot of these challenges while also conveying a sense of urgency.
