Have you noticed that there are a lot of Democrat candidates who are refusing to debate their Republican opponents this year? Why do you suppose that is?
Newsmax recently interviewed a pollster named Jim McLaughlin who offered a pretty good answer to this question.
He says they simply don’t want to have to defend the failed records of Biden and Pelosi.
He might be onto something here. Watch:
"These Democrats, they don't want to defend their records."

Democrats seem to think this approach makes them look principled.
It doesn’t. It makes them look weak.
