This is the 'story of the midterms': Josh Kraushaar

The "Special Report" All-Star panel looked ahead to the outcomes of the approaching midterm elections and the issues driving the elections on Tuesday.

Axios's Josh Kraushaar dubbed "economic malaise" the "story of the midterms" Tuesday on the "Special Report" All-Star panel.

3 WAYS BIDEN MAKES INFLATION WORSE

KRAUSHAAR: It's inflation. It's just economic malaise. And then that's sort of the story of the midterms and a lot of these big Senate races, Bret, that the bases are energized. Democrats are energized on abortion, Republicans are energized on immigration, the economy. But it's the independents [who] are going to swing this midterm election, and they are much more economic focused than the bases of the individual parties. And look, inflation isn't going away. People have a very negative mood about the future of the country, economically speaking. Those are the voters [who] are going to make it or break these races, and they're tilting to the Republicans in the homestretch.
