Can recent legislative achievements help Democrats hold onto power?

from The Week in Philly from KYW Newsradio · host Audacy

President Biden and Democrats in Congress have had some major legislative wins lately. The Inflation Reduction Act, the infrastructure bill, gun control legislation, and the American Rescue Plan -- they add up to more legislative wins than most presidents see in their first two years. But is it enough to keep Democrats in power in the midterm elections? We talk with Dr. David Barrett, Professor of Political Science at Villanova University, about these legislative achievements, how they compare to past presidencies, how they’ve affected public opinion of Biden, and whether or not they’ve done anything to renew people’s faith in government overall.
