At a Faith and Freedom event this month in Des Moines, Iowa, veteran Georgia Republican activist Ralph Reed hosted a record-breaking crowd — a sign of Democrats’ looming disadvantage in a slew of midterm races.

“I’d like to thank Joe Biden and Kamala Harris,” Reed said on Saturday, thanking some 900 people who showed up for the event, according to Iowa Republican Party Chairman Jeff Kaufmann, who said it typified voters’ “visceral” reaction to the new Democratic administration.
