hill al weaver and amy parnesDemocrats say they are increasingly concerned president biden‘s low polling in battleground states and how he’ll hurt Senate candidates.
good news“The good news for Democrats is that candidates in Pennsylvania, Arizona, and Nevada, all of which are expected to be close Senate races, are doing better than Biden.”
bad news: “The bad news is that a recent New York Times/Siena College poll shows Biden trailing Trump by double digits in Arizona and Nevada. That means things are changing. “Unless that happens, Democrats in these states really need to outperform Democratic presidents.” To make matters worse, Democrats will certainly need to win Senate seats in Montana and Ohio to maintain their Senate majority. These are Republican states that Trump is expected to win in the fall. ”
