gravity. the democrats started off as underdogs. then they had to contend with a string of really bad luck, part of it just the end of the pandemic s worth phase. getting back to normal, they were lingering supply chain issues from the pandemic, led to concerns that very well-documented baby formula shortage. those supply chain issues were also one factor in a record high inflation, which again, was afflicting basically every country across the world. but, you know, you can t tell voters, well, everyone is in the same boat. it really did seem poised to be the single undoing of the biden administration. pardon of that inflation where the enormous high gas prices. another issue for incumbent democrats. republicans, again, this is a political layup. taking every opportunity to talk about the price at the pump and how it s democrats fault. of course, part of the reason gas prices were so high is the biden administration was trying to contend with the largest land war in europ
