Meanwhile President Joe Biden, the leader of the Democratic Party, spent last weekend at his Delaware beach house. White House Press Secretary Karine Jean Pierre assures Americans Biden is taking the midterms seriously and that he is proud of his accomplishments as Democratic candidates distance themselves on the campaign trail.

"The President takes this very seriously," Jean-Pierre told reporters last week. "The President takes what he has done in this time during his presidency, his tenure, just about 20-months tenure, very seriously and wants to talk about what he has done, what congressional Democrats have done to deliver for the American people."

Additional polling shows Democrats are feeling the heat on the direction of the country and major issues.

NBC POLL: "We've got some all-time midterm highs that should serve as red flags for the Democrats."
