Is the purpose of editorials like this to motivate Democrats to vote in the midterms?
https://www.cnn.com/2022/05/20/opinions/joe-biden-democrats-november-midterms-zelizer/index.htmlOr is it to try and peel off conservative viewers who will never trust CNN anyway?
What's happening in Georgia right now is that the awareness of all of the Trump shenanigans in 2020, along with the very clear indications that Republicans are out to eliminate democracy, is motivating Democrats to vote in record numbers. If that happens in November, you will be able to thank Governor Stacy Abrams.
It also appears that in Arizona, polls show Democrats on the verge of a turnout win that will re-elect Senator Kelly, turn the state legislature blue and put a Democrat in the governor's mansion.
CNN is hard to figure sometimes.

Kitchen Table Issues should be a list in front of all Democrats in or running for office. Why do people vote versus those who don't?

The Biden-Harris team has ushered in the fastest economic recovery in history -- lowering the unemployment rate down to 3.6% and bringing the percentage of people receiving unemployment insurance below 1 percent for the first time since 1969. But thats not all.
President Biden and congressional Democrats have a plan to tackle inflation by:
✅ Fighting Putins price hike at the pump
✅ Lowering the costs of health care, internet access, and more that are critical for families
✅ Holding huge corporations that have been taking advantage of American consumers accountable
Meanwhile, ultra-MAGA Republicans like Senator Rick Scott are making plans that include:
❌ Raising taxes on half of all Americans, including working families
❌ Putting programs like Social Security and Medicare on the chopping block
❌ Pushing ultra-MAGA positions instead of focusing on the economy
Democrats have been hard at work fighting for families everywhere. Read on to learn more about our work from the past week →
