Stuart Rothenberg: Unlike in 2010 and 2018, when the out-party successfully made the midterms about the president, Republicans have acted in a way that makes 2022 about them rather than about Biden and House Democrats.
Trump has signaled he will inject himself into the midterms both by challenging incumbent Republican officeholders who have criticized him and by reminding voters that he is the leader of the GOP.

Thats hardly an ideal situation for Republicans in next years election.
