Summary

With the 2022 midterms approaching, Democrats are grappling with increasing expectations that their party will suffer major losses. Republicans are seeking to take back control of Congress in November as President Biden's recent approval ratings hit 33 percent with voter support waning on key issues like rising inflation, crime, and Russia's invasion of Ukraine. So are Democrats going to suffer, what one New York Times writer called a 'Blood Bath'? This past week, host Jessica Rosenthal spoke to Republican strategist and former Campaign Manager for Senator Scott Brown, Colin Reed, and Democratic pollster and CEO of Schoen Cooperman Research, Carly Cooperman about their expectations for the 2022 midterms. They discussed how President Biden's popularity would impact the party, what's behind the enthusiasm gap, and why Republicans should not necessarily assume a 'red wave' is inevitable. Due to time limitations, we could not include all of the conversation in our original segment. On the FOX News Rundown Extra, you will hear the entire discussions with GOP stratergist Colin Reed and Democratic pollster Carly Cooperman and hear more of their perspective on the 2022 midterms and what both parties must focus on to win as many races as possible.
