But that's not going to happen. It's not going to happen because Donald Trump wants something else. He wants the election to be about him, and how he lost in 2020 because of massive fraud (the "Big Lie").
You can see that in every rally he has held. While he may mention in passing some other issues, the bulk of what he has to say every time is just more whining about how the 2020 election was stolen from him.
And in a recent statement, he threatened to ask Republicans to not vote in 2022 (or 2024) if the fraudulent election of 2020 was not "solved".
This has most Republican candidates terrified. If the 2022 election is just another referendum on Donald Trump, many of them will lose, and Democrats will retain control of both the House and Senate. While most of the Republican base loves the Orange Demagogue, most American voters do not. And they would love another chance to send another message to Trump -- that they don't like him, or want him around any more.
The Republicans could have solved this problem after the 2020 election by putting Trump in their rear view mirror and turning to some new leaders -- and that might have given them a good chance in 2022. But they didn't, because they were too afraid of Trump and his supporters. Now they will pay the price for their cowardice.
The 2022 election will be another referendum on Donald Trump, because that's what Trump wants it to be. And that is great for Democrats.
