Republicans have only themselves to blame for the party’s disappointing performance in the midterm elections.
PennLive Letters to the Editor
Pundits explain Republican candidates’ poor midterm election performance by referring to the party’s unpopular stance on abortion, active support for Donald Trump’s bogus claim that the 2020 election was stolen, and the violent January 6, 2020 insurrection against the U.S. government. But they seem to forget that Republicans have also called for cuts to Social Security and Medicare while rejecting President Joe Biden’s plan to provide debt relief to 26 million low-income citizens with college student loans.
Meanwhile, some Republican lawmakers who voted against Biden’s popular, bipartisan infrastructure bill last year took credit for local infrastructure projects approved in their own districts! With that reality in mind, few people would be surprised to learn that the GOP has a 61 percent unpopularity rating with the public in August 2022, according to a Pew Research poll.
