GOP sees Biden crises as boon for midterm recruitment
| Republicans are hopeful that a whirlwind of foreign and domestic crises facing the Biden administration will aid their recruitment efforts and convince top-tier candidates to jump into marquee Senate and House races ahead of the 2022 midterms.
The GOP has been pounding President Biden and congressional Democrats for months on an array of issues, from a surge in attempted border crossings to their COVID-19 response to inflation. But with the mushrooming crisis in Afghanistan grabbing headlines and shocking a nation, Republicans believe it is now in the middle of a perfect storm that could persuade prominent Republicans to get off the bench and into top-tier midterm contests. |
