Biden kicks off midterm campaigning, promotes Democratic wins
President Biden launched his midterm push Thursday in deep-blue Maryland, with a rally promoting the administration’s recent policy wins as he begins selling his agenda to voters ahead of the high-stakes November election.
“We must take our case to the American people and be crystal clear about it. There’s no question it’s been a few hard years,” Biden said, going on to herald student loan relief, lower gas prices, the Inflation Reduction Act and increased corporate taxes, among Democratic wins notched this summer.
In a Rockville high school gym less than a half-hour from the White House — in a state where Democrats have a built-in registration advantage — the president shared the stage with the party’s nominee for Maryland governor, Wes Moore, who faces Dan Cox, a Republican endorsed by former president Donald Trump.
The Maryland contest sketches the contrasts Democrats hope to highlight in midterms across the country — touting their policy ideas as inclusive and uplifting, and warning what Republicans would do to Democratic priorities if they gained power.
