president biden on the defensive as he faces a growing list of challenges. from inflation to immigration to questions about his age. all dragging down his poll numbers. joe biden s 36%. that is certainly not good. now a showdown with congress over the country s debt limit could lead to a crippling economic crisis. our spending is out of control. it s unfortunate we are where we are. as the president faces this latest task, we turn to one of his key allies on capitol hill, congressman james clyburn, who helped turn around biden s 2020 campaign. toont don t democrats risk that if you nominate joe biden, there s a real chance the country ends up with president trump again? later this hour, actress priyanka chopra jonas. i m sitting here talking to chris wallace. yeah, doesn t get better than then who won, who won? on her buzzy tv series, her new role as mom, and her high-profile marriage. is that part of your superpower? get it done, baby. it was possib
that are favorable to democrats in the general. i think we know that. let s turn to another subject, which is the big issue right now. for months, president biden said he wouldn t negotiate with house republicans over the debt limit. but right now, they re in intense talks, the white house and house republicans you can see they had a meeting this week. hasn t the president caved on his demand for a clean debt ceiling, and in effect didn t he waste three months insisting that there be no conditions, and now when we re under the gun, he s agreeing to conditions? well, there s a big difference in negotiating a debt limit and in having negotiations on the future parallel. i ve been saying a long time and i still believe the resolution will be something like this. we have a sharport-term debt li
