Midterm elections tend to be kryptonite to The Presidents political party. Generally, that party loses seats and more often than not loses its majority.
Exactly. If and when the Party in Power swings too far, the American Electorate is motivated to shift power to the other Party. Saw it with Clinton, Bush, Obama, and Trump. I don't see how and why Biden will be any different. At a minimum, I predict the GOP will take one of the Legislative Chamber majorities. The Biden Administration would need to not only be centrist, but unifying as well. Obama could not achieve that. Trump could not achieve that. I think Clinton and Bush had the best shots but even they saw chambers shift to the other party during their 8 years.
The Trump Republican Party and Jan 6 scramble all previous norms. It is Republicans who are blocking everything instead of compromising. That will not sit well with voters. Voters are closer to Democrats than Republicans on the issues.
You can only compromise if BOTH parties are wiling to do so.
