Love how this article ignores an obvious factor in the 2022 result-Trump toxifying the party's image.
Although Republicans won control of the House in 2022, they expected a lot more than 222 Republicans to 213 Democrats divide that they achieved. But a combination of poor Republican candidates and the power of abortion as a political issue helped buoy Democrats, staving off the so-called “red wave” that Republicans had expected.
Really now, the idea that 'poor candidates' mattered in the House just doesn't pass the smell test.
