Today marks the unofficial start of the campaign for the midterm elections. This year’s midterms will be the first major referendum on the Biden era of government — and a test of how much voters want to reinstall the Trump wing of the Republican Party.
On today’s episode, Astead W. Herndon, a political reporter and the host of our new podcast, “The Run-Up (https://www.nytimes.com/column/election-run-up-podcast),” offers a guide to the campaign. He’ll explore the forces at play in this election and how we arrived at such a fraught moment in American politics.
Background reading:
Listen to the premiere of "The Run-Up," (https://www.nytimes.com/2022/09/06/podcasts/run-up-midterm-elections-trump-biden.html) a podcast dedicated to the 2022 midterms.
Democratic leaders, once beaten down by the prospect of a brutal midterm election in the fall, sense a shift in the political winds. But it may not be enough (https://www.nytimes.com/2022/08/24/us/politics/democrats-house-majority.html).
Heading into 2022, Republicans were confident of a red wave. But now some are signaling concern that the referendum they anticipated on President Biden is being complicated by former President Donald Trump (https://www.nytimes.com/2022/08/28/us/politics/republicans-trump-search.html).
