US Vice President Kamala Harris takes a meeting in the Vice President's Ceremonial Office in Washington, D.C., on August 8.
While Republicans pummel Democrats over inflation and crime, Democrats’ strategy has been to try to paint contrasts between their candidates and the GOP – over issues of both character and policy, such as their late campaign charge that Republicans would endanger Social Security and Medicare. Senate races can defy the national environment. House races – in which candidates are much less defined – tend to blow with the national winds. The 2018 blue wave, for example – when Democrats made significant gains in the House in response to Trump’s presidency – didn’t translate to the Senate. Republicans were able to pick up seats that year by knocking off some Democrats in red states.
But the question this year is whether the idiosyncrasies of Senate races can outweigh voters’ dismal perceptions of the economy and the desire to check the party in power in the White House. Nearly three-quarters of voters in a recent CNN/SSRS survey said things in the country were going in the wrong direction, with about the same percentage believing the US is already in a recession.
