Donna Brazile Claims That Dems are Running on ‘What They’ve Delivered’ While the GOP is Running on the ‘Fumes’ of 2020 in the Upcoming Midterm Elections

Former acting Democrat chairwoman Donna Brazile appeared this morning on ABC’s “This Week” and discussed the upcoming midterm elections.

Brazile made quite the claim as she suggested that Democrats are running on “What they’ve delivered” while Republicans are running on the “fumes” of 2020.

In a clip, the segment is prefaced by previous quotes made by Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY).

Host George Stephanopoulus then asked Brazile if what it’s going to take for Democrats to win is for “Republicans to screw up.”

In a bit of a contradiction to what she said otherwise, Brazile responded, “Absolutely, George and all we have to do is wait over the next 137 days as 11 or 12 states hold their primaries, you have big primaries in Ohio and North Carolina, Pennsylvania where the former president has already tipped the scales in support of one candidate over another.”

“The Republicans are essentially running on fumes. They’re running on the energy of 2020, which is the big lie,” Brazile asserted.

Brazile then insisted that Democrats instead, “Are running on an economy that’s roaring back, that is fighting inflation, that is helping the Ukrainians.”

“Democrats will run on what they delivered, Republicans will run on the fumes of 2020,” Brazile summed up in conclusion.

As we previously reported, at a Kentucky chamber event, McConnell suggested that Republicans could “screw up” the Senate midterms if they nominate candidates who are “sort of unacceptable to a broader group of people.”

“From an atmospheric point of view, it’s a perfect storm of problems for the Democrats. How could you screw this up? It’s actually possible. And we’ve had some experience with that in the past,” McConnell claimed.

McConnell then noted that “In the Senate, if you look at where we have to compete in order to get into a majority, there are places that are competitive in the general election.”

“So you can’t nominate somebody who’s just sort of unacceptable to a broader group of people and win. We had that experience in 2010 and 2012,” McConnell insisted.
