Axelrod: Democrats In Swing Districts Are Probably Rethinking Their Vote For Biden's Reconciliation Package After Tonight | Video | RealClearPolitics



DAVID AXELROD: They only have one-term governors in Virginia. I was struck the other day. Kamala Harris came in to campaign for him. She said the question in this campaign is whether we will move forward and whether we will move back. And she is standing next to a guy who was governor some time back. It seemed like a discordant message.

But I want to make a point about the messages and how they're going to be read of this election. David Chalian talked earlier about 53% of the voters saying that the Democratic party is too liberal and Youngkin winning 75% of that vote. They each got equal numbers of votes or percentages of the votes from Republicans and Democrats, and Republicans and Democrats voted almost equal numbers. But independents broke nine points in favor of Youngkin. And that proved to be devastating.

Just remember that Joe Biden, I think, won independents said by 18 points ten years ago. So that is a real concern.

One of the questions I have is if you are a Democrat on Capitol Hill and you are from a swing district in suburban areas, are you rethinking tonight your vote on this reconciliation package. Are you thinking, maybe the best you shouldn't do it. If I were sitting in the White House or the leadership of the Democratic councils in Congress, I would be worried about it. I'd be trying to firm these people up. I know how this goes, I've experienced it. I know when things go badly, people begin to think of themselves.
