US Midterm Elections: Joe Biden Claims 'Republicans Want To Take Us Backwards;' POTUS Concedes It'll be Hard for Dems To Win the House

On the eve of Tuesday's midterm elections, President Joe Biden admitted that Democrats will have a "tougher" time hanging onto the House than the US Senate.

Following a rally in Maryland supporting gubernatorial candidate Wes Moore, Biden gave a negative assessment of his party's chances in the House.

Biden's Last Attempt to Sway Voters

The president made his final appeal to voters and urged supporters to vote, saying that if Republicans won control of Congress, they would bring back American economic advances, Bloomberg via MSN reported.

The president said in a tweet that Republicans want to move the US backwards while Americans have the potential to rebuild it in a way that is better for everybody.

Republicans would cut back on entitlement benefits, according to Biden, who referenced the Inflation Reduction Act, a Democratic tax, health, and environment policy, as well as the US deficit reduction.

He has repeatedly hinted that he will soon decide to run for office again in 2024. On Monday night, Trump was addressing a few thousand people at the Dayton International Airport in Ohio when Vice President Joe Biden also launched a shot at his predecessor, former President Donald Trump, calling him the "worst president since Herbert Hoover."

Joe Biden: It's Hard For Democrats to Regain The House

However, President Joe Biden finally recognized Monday night that it will be "tougher" for his party to regain the House as polls indicate a Republican triumph after initially appearing upbeat about the midterm elections.

Biden made his remarks when his approval rating fell to 39%. Some Democratic Party members are clamoring for a "next generation candidate" to compete for the White House in 2024 due to his dismal polling ratings and worries about a red wave following Tuesday's election.

If the GOP wins on Tuesday, Biden would have a challenging two years in power as they have pledged to thwart his legislative program and look into his administration, as per Daily Mail.

According to election projections, the GOP will take the House. However, the Senate is thought to be more competitive since any one campaign might change the chamber's majority.

According to the US Elections Project, early voting has already been completed by over 44.5 million persons nationwide. A pivotal time in American politics is the midterm elections.

The nation is finally recovering from the COVID-19 pandemic, but it is also experiencing an economic crisis. Additionally, since the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, abortion rights are now in jeopardy in several states, and this is the first election since the January 6th uprising.

Tuesday will see elections for various governors, all 435 of the House's members, and one-third of the Senate. As votes are counted, processing of the results might take several days. Polling results for many Senate and governorship elections were within the margin of error.

More Democrats are turning against the president, and some are even calling for him to not run for reelection, which is a sign that they are concerned about how election night will go for them. "It's time for new leadership," Democratic Rep. Dean Phillips of Minnesota told CNN.

Biden's failure to take the required action to improve the economy alarmed Democrats. As rogue inflation drives up living expenses, voters consistently rate it as their top concern in poll after poll. According to a Washington Post-ABC News survey released this week, the economy and inflation are voters' top concerns in the midterm elections, and Republicans have a large edge in these areas.

Because of how poorly voters rated Biden's management of the economy, the president's approval rating is low. In the most recent Reuters/Ipsos survey, it is at 39%.

By highlighting the unprecedented number of jobs his presidency has produced, Biden has defended his record. However, a large portion of those were the consequence of the employment market reopening following the closure during the COVID-19 pandemic.
