Republican 2022 Hopes Run Through Districts Scarred by Covid Bloomberg 2 days ago Jonathan Levin
(Bloomberg) Republicans aiming to retake the U.S. House next year will have to defend the party’s pandemic record, especially in Sun Belt districts that stand out for their grim death tolls or lackluster vaccinations.
Forty-seven Democrat-held districts and 21 Republican seats are at the center of the fight. High Covid-19 death rates or low vaccine penetration stand to be issues in around 20 of them, 15 to the potential advantage of Democrats.
While voters’ memories are often short, none have been through a combined public-health, economic and political crisis in such a short time. Whatever lessons they take will determine whether Democrats who as of Tuesday will have a seven-seat margin in the 435-member body can avoid the usual midterm setback for a new president’s party.
