Warren: Democrats will lose 2022 midterms if we don't deliver more

(CNN) Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren offered a warning to fellow Democrats on Sunday, saying that if they "don't get up and deliver" while their party has the majority in Congress, they will lose the 2022 midterm elections.

"There is so much we can do. And if we do it over the next 200 days, we're going to be in fine shape. ... Take it to the people what we've done," Warren told CNN's Dana Bash on "State of the Union." "I think we're going to be in real trouble if we don't get up and deliver, then I believe that Democrats are going to lose."

She continued, "Democrats win when they ... work on behalf of working people. And we can't just rest on what we've already done. We need to be fighting going forward."

Warren's remarks come as Democrats struggle to come up with cohesive messaging ahead of the 2022 midterms. The party is looking to maintain its narrow control of the US Senate and the US House of Representatives, amid intraparty divisions on issues such as immigration and Covid relief . President Joe Biden is also facing low approval ratings as the nation grapples with inflation and the war in Ukraine strains the global economy.

Asked if the US was headed toward an economic recession if Congress and Biden do not act, Warren, a member of the Senate Banking Committee, said major change was needed to help the economy and Americans who can't afford the rising prices.
