President Joe Biden warned Democratic donors of the high stakes in the midterm elections this November, predicting “a really difficult two years” if Republicans retake the House and the Senate.
“I don’t want to start from scratch,” he said in a speech at a Democratic National Committee fundraiser in Boston on Monday night. “We can’t afford to lose this off-year election.”
Biden has stepped up his public appearances as he maneuvers to capitalize on recent legislative and policy victories and translate them into gains for Democrats at the ballot box come November. He has also turned up the rhetoric against former President Donald Trump and his supporters, calling the midterms a referendum on democracy.
