Illinois Congressman Mike Quigley, a ranking member of the House Appropriations Committee, said he believes President Joe Biden’s unpopularity was the main reason for Democrats’ poor performance on Nov. 5.
"The bottom line was, it was very difficult for candidate Harris to overcome President Biden’s favorability ratings," Quigley told Fox 32 Chicago Political Editor Paris Schutz in a one-on-one interview. "He was at 42%. Sixty-five percent of the American people thought the country was going in the wrong direction in exit polling. It was too much to overcome.
Quigley criticized Gabbard for her past praise of Russia and its president, Vladimir Putin."I’m not sure she knows what the agency does, and sure as heck doesn’t have the experience to know how to commit those tasks," Quigley said. "She had secret meetings with Assad in Syria where afterwards she said he was not an enemy to the United States, a surprise to most. And she’s complimented Putin, being a Russian apologist and blaming Ukraine for the war.
