Both parties are misreading the issues voters care about most
Republicans and Democrats alike seem to have convinced themselves that this November’s midterm elections will be a referendum on President Joe Biden for his abysmal handling of the economy. That’s why Republicans have spent so much time talking about skyrocketing inflation rates and prices and Democrats have spent as much time trying not to talk about these issues at all. And while it is certainly true that voters care a lot about the things that affect their wallets directly, it would be foolish for either party to underestimate the influence cultural issues will have on voters.
