It's obvious that a midterm election loss would be devastating for President Joe Biden. Even if Republicans only win control of the House of Representatives, whatever remains of a Biden legislative agenda, if there is such a thing, will be instantly dead. If the GOP also wins control of the Senate, even narrowly, Biden's ability to win confirmation for his judicial and other nominees will be greatly diminished. So while the president and the leaders of the Democratic Party want to appear cool and confident about the elections, there is more than a little desperation behind the scenes.
