I don't buy into the alarmism people are spreading about the upcoming elections. You can't scare people into not voting when not voting means food and rent prices getting worse, because people are way more scared of homelessness and starvation than they are of men in fatigues.

There is also historical precedent to consider. Clinton, Dubya, Obama, Trump I, and Biden all lost their congressional majorities in the mid-terms, and unlike those five precedents, the cost of living explosion can be tied directly to things Donald did unilaterally. His minions supported these full stop, and they can't gaslight their way out of it. It's undeniable that Donald's war has made everything significantly more expensive.

The mid-terms are going to be a bloodbath for Republicans, as evidenced by Donald's approval rating being lower than Carter's. It was really, really stupid for Donald to promise day-one action on affordability, then do nothing, and follow inaction up with a war that he started by himself that made it undeniably much worse.
