President Joe Biden's increasingly stark warnings about Trump-fueled elements of the Republican Party are making up the core part of his midterm message, combined with repeated reminders to voters about recent Democratic accomplishments and a promise that democracy can still produce results for the American people. "It's a particularly strong issue for our base," said Peters, who leads the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, the official campaign arm of Senate Democrats. (AP Photo/Evan Vucci, File)
