Democrats warn early victory talk could turn voters complacent

Democrats are almost giddy a month before the Nov. 3 elections as polls and prediction markets capture them being on the precipice of controlling Congress, but some are warning the party to pump the brakes, as a premature victory lap could depress turnout in key races and limit victories.

With four weeks until the midterm elections, Democrats are trying to walk a fine line between confidence and ensuring their voters do not become complacent, with some reminding the party that polling have been historically bad in the Trump era.
