Republicans are eyeing major gains in Tuesday's elections and appealing to supporters to punish Democrats for high inflation and crime rates
WASHINGTON — Republicans are eyeing major gains in Tuesday's elections and appealing to supporters over the final weekend of the 2022 campaign to punish Democrats for high inflation and crime rates that have risen in some places. President Joe Biden and his two most recent Democratic predecessors said the prospect of GOP victories could undermine the very future of American democracy.
“I think this race is razor-close and I think everybody who cares about the extremism in this MAGA movement — the racism, the anti-Semitism, the violence — needs to get out and vote and that’s not just Democrats, it’s independents and fair-minded Republicans,” Maloney told NBC's “Meet the Press,” referring to Trump's"Make America Great Again” slogan.
Scott will be at that rally. Not invited, though, is Florida's Republican governor, Ron DeSantis, who is running for reelection against Democrat Charlie Crist and is widely considered Trump’s most formidable challenger if he also were to get into the White House race. When Joe O’Dea, the GOP candidate for Senate in Colorado, said he would prefer someone other than Trump as the 2024 nominee and cited DeSantis and others, Trump slammed O'Dea on social media: “MAGA doesn’t Vote for stupid people with big mouths,” Trump said.For national Democrats, the focus is on the fate of their narrow control of the House and Senate.
