Dems can't run against the big lie in 2022

Here’s a scenario to ponder: It’s October 2022 and a Democratic congressional candidate is running ads showing the Republican candidate questioning whether Joe Biden actually won the 2020 election. The Republican candidate, meanwhile, is running ads talking about the problems happening on Biden’s and the Democrats’ watch: inflation, unemployment, crime, the southern border, etc. In that context, would Trump-to-Biden swing voters choose the Democrat or the Republican candidate? I asked this question of 13 such swing voters on June 8 in two online focus groups. Two were Democrats; six were Republicans; five were independents. All were from among the most competitive 2020 swing states. Ten of the 13 basically said they’d vote for the Republican candidate in that scenario.
