Former President Bill Clinton says Democrats have a shot of holding Congress in 2022. But Clinton warned Republicans will "scare the living daylights" out of swing voters.

Increased polarization and partisanship since Clinton held office in the 1990s means fewer persuadable swing voters and fewer willing to cross party lines.
