Why are Democrats pouring millions of dollars into congressional seats that President Joe Biden won by almost 10 points just two years ago?
Turns out not even Democrats like living under Democratic governance.
Democrats are suffering from “blue-state depression,” one Democratic strategist tells the Washington Post. Voters in these blue states are experiencing “fatigue” from “pandemic restrictions, one-party dominance, and concerns about violent crime and quality of life.”
“Crime, in many ways, is the thread that is holding those together,” said the former executive director of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee.
Dissatisfaction with Democratic governance isn’t just showing up at the ballot box. People are also voting with their feet, choosing to flee Democratic-run states such as California, Illinois, and New York for Republican-run states such as Arizona, Texas, and Florida.
It is not an accident that those states with strongest job growth in the post-COVID recovery are almost all Republican-run states.
Meanwhile, California, a state completely controlled by Democrats for a decade now, has the nation’s highest poverty rate and the most homeless people, and they’ve wasted billions on a high-speed train to nowhere.
