‘They Will Lose’: Jen Psaki Concedes Democrats Can’t Let Midterms Be About Biden

Former White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki conceded on Sunday that if the Democratic Party allowed the fast-approaching midterm elections to be a referendum on President Joe Biden, they would certainly lose.

Psaki, who just recently transitioned from her gig at the Biden White House to a position at MSNBC, joined Sunday morning’s broadcast of “Meet the Press” — and she told anchor Chuck Todd that if the Democrats were wise, they would intentionally try to keep the focus on extremism, particularly within the Republican Party.

Todd began the segment with an ad put out by the Democratic Party against Arizona Republican gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake — which appeared to connect abortion rights and crime — and asked whether Democrats were trying too hard to make the two issues meet.

“I’m not sure how this is either — really effective, or you’re trying to get the voter to take two issues and tie them together, you’re trying too hard, I don’t know,” Todd reacted to the ad. “But an interesting response.”
