The tension between whether November's midterm cycle is a contrast election between Democrats and Republicans or a referendum on President Joe Biden has only increased with Rep. Liz Cheney's (R-WY) primary ouster.
Cheney's concession speech doubled as the launch of her new million-dollar leadership political action committee, which is dedicated to defeating Republicans backed by former President Donald Trump who have amplified his claim that the 2020 election was stolen. Although political conditions have improved for Democrats, Cheney's move will likely nationalize competitive House and Senate races to the benefit and detriment of Democrats.
"In a midterm, it's normally just people reacting about the president's performance, and it doesn't usually go well for the president's party," he said. Democrats, including Senate candidates Lt. Gov. John Fetterman and Rep. Tim Ryan , have opted not to attend Biden events hosted by their states in the past. Fetterman, for example, was reportedly poised to snub Biden during a January visit after last year's passage of the $550 billion Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, but he ended up appearing alongside the president after 10 people were injured in a Pittsburgh bridge collapse earlier that day.
