2022 is shaping up to be a tough year for Democrats: President Biden's approval rating is underwater, inflation is at its highest level in decades and the party in power almost always tends to lose ground in Congress in the midterm elections. But there are some potential bright spots for the party, even in an otherwise unfavorable political environment. Democrats have notched a series of recruiting successes and stand to gain at least a few advantages from the decennial redistricting process. At the same time, chaotic Republican primaries in some states have helped fuel Democratic hopes. Here are six potential bright spots for Democrats in 2022. |

The economy is giving the Federal Reserve little reason to shift its strategy of raising interest rates to lower inflation. |

OPINION | Shinzo Abe was a rare leader. As the longest-serving prime minister in Japan's history, he was a great leader of his nation. Abe was also a true friend of America. He was an ally to presidents of both parties — to President Barack Obama and President Donald Trump. These three accolades — great leader of a nation, friend to America, bipartisan ally — apply to very few leaders in modern history. The legacy Abe leaves behind is worthy of being honored. |
OPINION | In a political act poorly disguised as a legal opinion, the ultra-conservative majority of the Supreme Court issued a decision that makes a hard problem even harder to solve by fashioning out of thin air a new requirement for Congress to protect the environment. |

The assassination of former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe in Japan may look like a rebuke of the country's famously stringent gun laws. |
