Some of Democrats’ once-hateable figures are out of the picture. And emerging democratic socialists haven’t made for strong lines of attack nationwide.
Republicans have tried to find a new boogeyman this year as they rail against Democratic socialism and the “radical” left: Zohran Mamdani. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. Bernie Sanders.
Still more mentioned than all of them, at least in campaign ads: former President Joe Biden.
A POLITICO review of hundreds of ads running in battleground House and Senate races in recent months shows Republicans largely haven’t seized on progressive icons in paid media. Instead, Biden is the Democrat most likely to be mentioned in GOP ads this cycle, coming up across dozens of races.

Trans-Commies are coming for YOU!
Hot
They better come faster or I’m raiding their fridge and leaving naught but vegetables.
Sweet, when will they get here? I’ll put the kettle on.
Ooo la la
Normally when that happens to countries in history they just default to “the Jews”
Now it is the Muslims who are blamed for everything
A bit of good news this morning?
Too bad Joe is still hanging around. I suppose him dying wouldn’t have stopped them from invoking his ghost, though. Their bag of tricks is running dry. It’s hard to keep blaming Biden two years after he left. It’s comical, really. I hope they keep it up.
I’m also hoping gas prices keep going up, we’re at $4.36/gallon national average. Love to see that hit $5 before the election.

Not if your dwindling supporter base is full of contestants in a “Sloth from the Goonies” look-alike competition.
Communism! Hasan Piker! Zohran Mamdani and his scary fast and free buses are coming for you! We’re losing the culture war to Abdul MOHAMED El-Sayed because he’s walking away from it on Fox News! Turn up the Islamophobiaaaa!
Is what Republicans will fall back on
They don’t need a boogeyman. They get 100% of what they want 100% of the time. They will likely stay in power regardless of the midterm results. No one has pushed back in any significant way to cause change, so why would it change?
