Top Democrats including former President Barack Obama warned voters during rallies that the Republican Party is gaining momentum ahead of the midterms.

“Sulking and moping is not an option,” Obama told voters in Pennsylvania on Saturday. “The only way to save democracy is if we, together, fight for it,” he added, echoing Democratic talking points since the Jan. 6, 2021, incident at the Capitol.
