Washington Post, Rep. Sean Patrick Maloney, head of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) admits that the problem is his fellow Democrats not the voters.
Amid the reports on the 2022 midterm elections, looking like they’re going to shape up in favor of the Republicans, DCCC head Maloney came to a conclusion that “is not comfortable” for his fellow democrats to hear.
Democrats have been receiving a lot of heat lately due to their policy, policy results and public figureheads “disliked by the majority of the electorate.”
“They think that we’re divisive and too focused on cultural issues. They think that we’re preachy. They think that we act like we know better than parents when it comes to their kids in schools,” Maloney claimed.
“The problem is not the voters. The problem is us.” he added.
Moreover, it seems like Maloney has already figured out how to solve the problem.
According to Maloney, Democrats need to be “more like Biden.”
“He [Biden] is that person that in many ways we need to become. If there’s a kid with a stutter, the president’s gonna fall all over him. If there’s a cop or a firefighter who’s had a tough time, Joe Biden’s gonna wrap his arm around him.” he continued.
However, upon hearing this, critics claimed that his solution made no sense.
In the recent data released by the Independent, it was revealed that only about 41% of the population supports Joe Biden.
“In the survey from Yahoo News/YouGov, Mr Biden’s job performance is supported by 41 per cent of respondents while 53 per cent disapprove of his handling of the presidency. That’s a loss of one percentage point in his approval rating over the last month in this poll, while his disapproval rating has not changed.” The independent report read.
According to the critics, “41% isn’t a winning number, particularly for a Democrat.” Therefore, if Democrats want to win, “they need be a bit better than President Joe Biden.”
