Republicans are going to go in hard on three main talking points
1) Cost of living
2) Immigration
3) General distrust and apathy for current elected officials
Look at Europe. Horrendous candidates are rising in popularity because people are whipped into a frenzied panic over costs, immigrants, and representatives who they feel aren't doing anything to help them.
It's the same worry I have about Ramaswamy. He's a joke now but so was Trump. Like it or not he's resonating with more and more people and we're going to get back to the point where we're desperately convincing ourselves that the polls show he doesn't have a chance.
Democrats so desperately want the political landscape to go back to what it was but they need to update their playbook, preferably with something more than talk of LGBT support. About the only things they have that is truly bipartisan are abortion and marijuana but that can only carry the party so far for so long. With election shenanigans by the right getting more blatant it's debatable how much gain that will even net them.
Edit: And how could I forget the inevitable talk about the "Biden crime family." While I don't believe that will do much in moving the needle compared to the other three talking points it's sufficient enough to keep his name in the mud.
Tusk won in Poland. In Spain the leftists won. Labour will win in the UK.
