Stunned by gubernatorial results, Democrats are scared about their own prospects in next year’s midterm congressional elections
Stunned by the defeat of a mainstream political figure in the Virginia gubernatorial race, shocked by the slim margin of victory in the New Jersey contest, scared about their own prospects in next year’s midterm congressional elections, and stricken with fear about the possible return of Donald J.
It is as if Santa were stalled at the mouth of the chimney while the children at the fireplace below sit aching for their gifts— an apt metaphor, given the delay in the delivery of Christmastime gift items to stores, a supply-chain crunch that Mr. Biden already regards as yet another potential political peril.
That notion, which has been germinating for weeks and which coloured the campaigns in both Virginia and New Jersey, prevented Democratic candidates from pointing to party successes while they hold power, from promising more such achievements, and from suggesting that Biden-era Democrats are possessed of a surfeit of confidence and competence.
The results in Virginia, where Mr. Youngkin gained a decisive victory in the governor’s race and where the Republicans likely will capture a majority in the state legislature, received the most attention. But in some ways the Democratic victory in New Jersey provided a more bracing alarm.
