Democrats Wonder Why They're Losing Ground Across U.S.

The campaign arm of House Republicans is adding more than a dozen seats to its list of targets for 2022 – all are currently controlled by Democrats.

There are two governor races, each with exceptionally poor showings from the Democratic candidates. From New Jersey to Virginia where Republican Glenn Youngkin won, despite President Biden carrying the vote by 10 points just one year ago. 

"The challenge of overcoming a culture where the state overwhelms self-empowerment is all too common," Youngkin said. "For too long, we've been expected to shelve our dreams, to shelve our hope to settle for low expectations."

Democrats are now wondering what went wrong? Is it because their national agenda is too liberal? Is their message too focused on former President Donald Trump? Or is it because they can't agree on whether to support President Biden's spending priorities?
