EXCERPT:
BLAKE: “Yeah, I mean, look, there‘s no question that the Democratic Party is in a bad spot right now. Their numbers with the American public are some of the worst that they‘ve ever seen. And so, that creates a question, you know, heading into a midterm election year. The idea is usually that this is a referendum on the president. That‘s what matters. Do people like the president or will they vote against him? But we generally don‘t see the opposition party being as unpopular as Democrats are right now. We generally don‘t see that party‘s base view their party‘s leaders as dimly as we do right now. So, I think that creates some unusual dynamics, even as the president’s popularity probably matters the most.”
