abc.net.au/news/midterms-bill-clinton-democratic-party-hilary-clinton-politics/101622144Former US president Bill Clinton has made a last-minute appearance ahead of Tuesday's midterm elections in support of New York Governor Kathy Hochul, warning of "enormous consequences" if the Democratic Party loses control of the House of Representatives and the Senate.
"What do the Republicans want? They want you to be scared and they want you to be mad," Mr Clinton said at a rally in Brooklyn, with many union leaders in the audience of more than 500."Lee Zeldin, he makes it sound like Kathy Hochul gets up every morning, goes to the nearest subway stop and hands out billy clubs [and] baseballs bats," he added, amid the perception of rising crime after the COVID-19 pandemic.
"I'm telling you all this because the whole election could come down to how big the turnout is in Brooklyn," he said.Despite Mr Biden's comfortable presidential victory in 2020, the Democratic Party continues to licks its wounds after Ms Clinton's shock 2016 loss when Mr Trump defied all the polls to win.
"He remains one of the most effective messengers for the Democratic Party in contrasting the two parties, such as by highlighting how the Republicans would cut social spending and he can also talk with credibility on the foreign policy implications of the election, including the needed US support for Ukraine."
