WASHINGTON — President Joe Biden cast the 2022 elections at a heavily publicized rally just outside the Beltway this week as a choice between Democrats who are trying to fix roads and bring down health care costs and extreme Republicans pushing “semi-fascism” and bent on “destroying America.”
But his upcoming travels, and trips by members of his Cabinet to battleground states and districts, might have a more tangible effect on the midterm elections than speeches to audiences invited by the Democratic National Committee.
Biden’s swing on Thursday through Montgomery County, Maryland, which he won with more than 79% of the vote in 2020, included a rally at a Rockville high school and an earlier fundraising stop at a private residence in Bethesda that a DNC official said would raise $1 million for party accounts.
