Democrats’ collective freakout over the fitness of President Joe Biden hinges first and foremost on his ability to beat former President Donald Trump.
But in the distressed comments of lawmakers and strategists lurks the additional fact that the House and Senate are also up for grabs in November – and if voters turn on Biden, it could reverberate across the country and hand Republicans unified control of the federal government.
“We need the White House, because of the enormous power of the executive branch,” Obama said. “But the critical need for us to regain the House and have Hakeem Jeffries as speaker should be sufficient motivation. And if we do our jobs on that front, that is probably the most important thing we can do for the Biden reelection campaign as well.” The not-so-subtle implication there is that Biden will need to be propped up by other Democrats in order to win.
