Both parties plan to make COVID relief a key election issue Republicans think history gives them the upper hand

Republicans locked arms against Biden s massive COVID-19 relief bill. Now they plan to make it a top election issue David Jackson, USA TODAY Replay Video UP NEXT WASHINGTON – After weeks of feuding among themselves, Republicans found something they agree on: unanimous opposition to the $1.9 trillion COVID-19 relief bill. The political value of that unity will be at the forefront of the 2022 congressional elections. President Joe Biden and the Democrats plan to make the COVID-19 relief bill – and Republican opposition to it – the cornerstone of campaigns to expand their House and Senate majorities. Biden is likely to discuss the impact of the bill in a speech Thursday night, his first prime-time address as president.

GOP united in opposing COVID relief bill but what will voters think?

Democratic political strategist Ben LaBolt said his party should make the bill a major part of next year s elections, and that includes spotlighting the opposition of the Republicans. COVID-19 relief will be a key, if not the key, contrast between the parties, he said. Some Republicans said they are in the same position they were during the early years of President Barack Obama s administration. They said GOP candidates should follow the path of their predecessors in the 2010 congressional elections, when many campaigned against Obama s economic stimulus and health care plans. There’s a good chance 2022 will be a wave election for the GOP, Texas-based Republican strategist Matt Mackowiak said, and it’s already building in the wake of Wednesday s congressional vote.
