Elizabeth Warren Warns Democrats Could Lose Midterms If They Fail To Deliver Agenda

Democrats could face “big losses” in the upcoming November midterms if they fail to deliver on more of their promises, according to Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren.

On Monday, the New York Times published an op-ed piece from Warren that cautioned Democrats about the fallout from failing to pass key legislation, as the party holds a precarious majority in the House and Senate.

“Democrats win elections when we show we understand the painful economic realities facing American families and convince voters we will deliver meaningful change,” Warren wrote.

“To put it bluntly: if we fail to use the months remaining before the elections to deliver on more of our agenda, Democrats are headed toward big losses in the midterms.”

Although President Biden was able to get his $1 trillion infrastructure bill approved and Congress passed another COVID relief package, he has been met with opposition on his other agendas, including the Build Back Better plan.

The former presidential candidate noted that despite having a majority in Congress, Democrats struggled to pass legislation that would allow them to deliver on 2020 campaign promises.

“Republicans are betting that a stalled Biden agenda won’t give Democrats enough to run on in the midterm elections — and they might be right,” Warren wrote.

“Despite pandemic relief, infrastructure investments, and the historic Supreme Court confirmation of Ketanji Brown Jackson, we promised more — and voters remember those promises.”

In an effort to help Democrats secure their majority in Washington, Warren offered a solution.

“We need to finalize a budget reconciliation deal, making giant corporations pay their share to fund vital investments in combating climate change and lowering costs for families, which can advance with only 50 Senate votes. Other priorities can be done with the president’s executive authority,” she wrote.

Warren’s warning comes after reports suggesting Democrats are concerned about a wipeout in the November midterms over several factors, including rising inflation and Biden’s low approval rating.
