state deposits at small and midsize banks has continued not just last week, but through today. and reporting from this official says it s swings in the stock market is noll way correlated to what they re seeing with regards to bank deposits which is good news i would think. and uninsured outflows they re either slowed or stopped or in some cases reversed basically all of the major banks that we ve been talking about. so, i think all of this is encouraging, and we hope to see this trend continue because it would show that confidence is returning here. yeah. certainly a turn in the right direction. matt egan thank you for reporting. appreciate it. we re joins by evan osmos, he s a staff reporter and author of joe biden the life and run and what matters now. good to see you, you literally wrote the book on the president. it s not uncommon to talk to leaders, even the president and
mismanaged risks and made mistakes. kind of club ax that income and impose fines maybe. there s a real way to learn from 2008 and not make mistakes politically they have exposed democrats the last time. and boris just alluded to a future run in 2024. i ve got to tell you, evan, anywhere i go, that s what everyone wants to know, is joe biden running for re-election? none of us have crystal balls, we certainly have reporting and you as the author of the book on him have insight on the family and the decisions that he s made. as we sit here today, what are your thoughts around that? well, he and those around him, including ron klain in an interview not too long has said every which way he has the intention of running. we re not going to know until the very last minute, joe biden makes these decisions sometimes down to the wire. but it s not an accident you
have these kinds of conversations. that s happened a lot. help us understand how president biden, joe biden, the man, sort of takes in that outside counsel. yeah, i mean, there are business leaders and then there s also warren buffett. he has did of course, jessica, this unique ability to converse to the markets, to the public at large. if that report is true, that s a sign, one, they re going outside to get somebody whose advice is considered you know, he s not working for the bank. he s someone who has stepped in, in the past, in 2008 and 2011, to make sure some mistakes that were made in the past, that s important, too. evan, not surprising, the republicans were quick to criticize the president not just in smaller but regional banks but response for intervening to banks that aren t essential to the whole banking system.
