This year’s midterm elections are playing out as a strange continuation of Biden-Trump 2020 — and a potential preview of 2024. The latest in Election 2022.
By CHRIS MEGERIAN, Associated Press WASHINGTON — This year's midterm elections are playing out as a strange continuation of the last presidential race — and a potential preview of the next one.
Sometimes the two men travel to the same places, such as when they visited Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, within days of each other, a reflection of the narrow political map that will determine which party controls the U.S. Senate. If they face off again, the competition between them could become one of the longest and impactful political duels in American history, spanning several years and multiple elections.A recent AP-NORC poll shows only about 3 in 10 Americans want either Biden or Trump to run for president in two years. Just 5 in 10 Democrats want Biden to seek a second term, while 6 out of 10 Republicans hope to see Trump seek the presidency again.
In Arizona, during his most recent rally, Trump darkly suggested that Biden is surrounded by"vicious, very smart people" who are"pulling strings." People close to Trump have said they believe a strong performance by Republicans in November will further encourage Trump to run again in two years, as he has been openly teasing for months.
But DuHaime said Trump has prevented that from happening by injecting himself into this year's races, providing a boost to Biden, whose poll numbers remain underwater as voters express concerns about the economy.
