Because it will be midterm. They always kill us.

And this one will be especially difficult because I expect the next 2 years to be hard. We are starting with a broken government in the midst of a public health crises that has done serious and long term damage to the economy. It would be hard without a divided Government but we have a hostile Senate and Supreme Court to deal with.

The electorate is fickle and will give the Republicans congress unless we can show some progress against some very serious headwinds.
