just unique in history. we don t have another example of the last time we opened a 20 trillion-dollar economy with lots of fiscal and monetary support. reporter: we heard the federal reserve and many economists for the last several months saying that the pandemic s economic toll will correct itself in time but in the short term it means higher price tags for everything from energy bills to of course those beloved snacks you re buying at the grocery store and everything in between. eric. eric: not ring dings and everything else. man. all right, alex. thank you. arthel. arthel: a critical week coming up for president biden s agenda as a buy part a san group of bipartisan group of senators work to finalize the infrastructure proposal. can they actually make a deal and will it ultimately pass in the senate? mark meredith live in wilmington, delaware where president biden is spending the weekend. hi, mark. reporter: arthel, good afternoon. later on this week the president
it s a contrast to sanders and she s fluent on the issues important to democratic voters. meanwhile, joe biden, there s bad news for him in this poll. he had been holding pretty steady through all these dings and dents he was takening and suddenly it s showing up in the polls. people didn t think he was up to being president. former president jimmy carter s comments that he didn t think anybody over 80 should be president will be relevant in this campaign. he said he couldn t do the job at 80 years old. joe biden, should he be worried about these numbers? i don t read much into iowa polls at this point. in 2003 dick gephardt was doing well. 2008 jon edwards was doing well. we have a long race to go and this is a relatively stable race. i expect the range-e race to change a little bit about one of the second-tier candidates,
caucus sort of weekend events and i m not going to say almost every every black woman who i spoke to about the election who was over age 40 and listen, black don t crack so i can t speak to anybody s actual age but everybody who appeared to be all the grown folks that i spoke to, 100% were for joe biden. all of them. some of them fervently for joe biden and that s after the debate. the polling shows that joe biden among african american voters has nearly half which is what you need for the domination. it is literally black voters who have him ahead and i think that s partly because black voters don t have a lot of confidence in the electorate who you said a lot of them have those same dings as biden or sometimes bernie sanders, they have these things that are generational about race and a lot of black voters don t trust the electorate to do another obama type election. so their argumen person that th
joe biden. joe biden is not donald trump. people like joe biden. they may not know enough about joe biden to know the dings in his past. when they find him out they may be disappointed. fundamentally democrats like him. democrats are fundamentally horrified and terfired. for the same reason they are turned off by president obama. if you re going to come frapresident obama they would defend him. he is on their side fundamentally. i think when you are trying to take out a front runner, youfr don t do it in a way that presumes people don t like this person. i think that was too harsh on his part. i thought beto had a great night. now i can see in him the
it to that next level. correct. neil: they are afraid that s a significant issue dings is that a distinction is with a difference that really matters, hard to say. it s a clever move by chairman nadler, but the question is neil: what would be the value in doing that and use the example during water gate. the key language from the law, which is federal rule of criminal procedure 6 e says as follows: preliminarily to, or in connection with a judicial proceeding and the court 45 years ago in the dc circuit said an impeachment proceeding because it ultimately would lead to a trial of the president in this instance, in the senate, is close enough to a judicial pro proceeding that will allow it to go forward but the second important difference from the decision 45 years ago was in that case the d.c. circuit also said that the justice department joined in the application and any concerns that the court had about separation of powers were
