WASHINGTON — U.S. Rep. Angie Craig is heading into her most difficult reelection fight yet, defending a suburban battleground district amid a formidable series of challenges burdening Democrats across the country
The fate of Craig and other Democrats is closely tied to President Joe Biden, who is facing sagging approval ratings, a raging pandemic, soaring inflation, growing tensions over Russia and a stalled agenda on Capitol Hill. As a result, anxiety is rising among Democrats over the possibility of a bruising round of congressional losses.
"It's going to be a hell of a fight to hold the House," said Craig, whose 2nd Congressional District is a target as an energized GOP looks to take back seats like hers that have swung between the two parties in the last decade.
