The 10 Senate Seats Most Likely To Flip In 2022
(CNN)The war in Ukraine has shifted attention overseas, but even if
President Joe Biden's approval has ticked up nominally, the national
environment heading into the 2022 midterms still looks treacherous for
his fellow Democrats as they try to hold their Senate majority.
Russian President Vladimir Putin has given Biden a convenient foil on
whom to blame high gas prices. ("Putin's price hike," he has called
it.) But Republicans are hammering Democrats for rising inflation,
which they argue predates the conflict in Ukraine.
Democrats point to the pandemic and stuck supply chains for the
current inflation woes, blaming corporations for pocketing profits
while Americans pay the price at the pump. The most vulnerable
Democratic Senate incumbents -- Raphael Warnock of Georgia, Mark Kelly
of Arizona, Catherine Cortez Masto of Nevada and Maggie Hassan of New
Hampshire -- have tried to get ahead of the inevitable GOP attacks by
introducing legislation that would suspend the federal gas tax through
the end of the year.
In a sign they're trying to distance themselves from the national
party, most of them also sided with Republicans on a recent vote to
overturn the requirement that passengers wear masks on public
transportation. Establishing their own brands in their states,
independent of Biden, will be a challenge for Democrats running in
November if the President's approval rating remains in the low 40s.
The party in the White House traditionally loses seats during the
first midterm of a new president's term.
