'The Five' explain why Democrats will likely lose seats in the 2022 midterm elections

Hosts of "The Five" discussed what steps Democrats would need to take to retain their majority in the Senate and House of Representatives.

Co-host Dagen McDowell added that the Republicans are rising in popularity not because of anything they have done, but because of "mistakes Democrats have made over and over again since taking power."

McDowell also said Democrats' main goal is not to retain power, but to pass key pieces of legislation, like Biden's Build Back Better plan.

"Between now and next year, be very careful. Because the Democrats are desperate. They see that window closing. They’ll lie and they're willing to lose power in the House or Senate," she said.
