The midterm elections are looking like an impending disaster for the Democratic Party.

The reason is clear: The public is unfazed by the party’s attempt to make the upcoming elections about anything other than the economy. Whether it be the subject of abortion “rights,” Jan. 6, climate change, gun control, Ukraine, COVID-19, or student loan “forgiveness,” the political establishment failed to distract us from the singular issue that matters most: being able to afford to live.
