Enumerating their accomplishments is only half of Republicans’ task heading into November. A full perspective requires juxtaposing what Republicans have done with what would have occurred had Kamala Harris and Democrats won in 2024.
Republicans’ task in November is not an easy one. The party holding the White House almost always loses seats in midterms; regardless of current circumstances, that’s the historical overlay. And current circumstances remain dominated by the conflict with Iran’s terrorist regime and inflation that has stayed stubborn even after its primary instigator, Joe Biden, is over a year and a half out of office.
Republicans could have expected Democrats would turn “Biden-flation” into “affordability.” If Republicans cured cancer, Democrats would accuse them of putting cancer researchers out of work.
Nor can Republicans expect the establishment media to help them with their case. Across the board, the establishment media runs stories as though these existed in a vacuum: with no mention of what preceded it or what likely would have happened otherwise. Case in point: The border crisis that was ignored for four years, yet all current attention is negatively focused on deportations (routinely ignoring the Left’s provocation of violent clashes).
