Why Midterm Voters Will Put Republicans in Power Across the U.S.

In a drive along back roads across America, in places pollsters and the media usually miss, voters seem, once again, on the verge of ousting the current party in power.

But when the former vice president kicked off his presidency on Day One by shutting down the Keystone Pipeline, many who put him in office were concerned. Their worries deepened when he botched our exit from Afghanistan in August 2021. And, this year, when he called skyrocketing inflation "transitory," lots of voters decided it was time to choose new leadership in the midterm elections on Nov. 8.
