potentially change the trajectory of the midterms. the you mentioned all the accomplishments. how much of a wildcard does this make november? it s definitely in the democrats favor, whether it s enough to hold the house is a different matter. certain races are going to be bellwether races. i think you re gonna look at the same states we ve always looked at that tend to be really barometers of the national mood. they are critical races in michigan to, in washington state, in wisconsin. i think we re gonna see over the next three weeks the degree to which these democrats are not only running on the accomplishments, but they re delighted to explain to voters that their opponent voted against, for example, 35 dollar insulin caps. their opponent voted against climate change investment. their opponent voted against
the economy what is happening with mar-a-lago and the president s legal troubles. great point. as usual donald trump can clear the room. he can make himself the biggest issue. and i thought earlier this week and i still think that the indictment, the search weren t ac warrant helped trump, it got him on the front pages. let him reinforce the image of that he was victimized. unfortunately for the republicans who are now united, that is not enough to win in november. you ve got to do well with moderates and i m not sure they will. talk to me about the importance of the white house selling this legislative wins that they have had here, explaining to people what is in all of this. for example prescription drug caps for medicare recipients and insulin caps for people on medicare. and extending those obama care subsidies. there is so much in here. will they be able to show
trump, but it could help in the short run. do you agree, bacari? look, i don t know any democrats running in any competitive united states senate or congressional seat that are going to run ads talking about aha, your president about to get in indicted, like that s not going to happen, but they do have a story to tell, the inflation reduction act, the pact act. you can talk about republicans if you re someone who is a united states senator currently who voted against insulin caps. there is a story to tell for democrats, especially those in very, very competitive districts. at the end of the day i think this is another news cycle, another story, but many republicans want to wash their hands of donald trump. they just won t say it loudly. we shall see who is more exhausted, who is clutching what pearls and what happens next. thank you so much. four hours from now whole different ballgame, by the way.
to moments about this. this is a huge diversion, and one that may ultimately hurt trump. but, it could also help them turn. do you but do you agree bakari? look, i don t know any democrats that are running in a competitive united states senate or congressional seat. but they re going to run at talking about the president about to get invited like if that is not going to happen. but they do have a story to tell. the inflation reduction act, shifts, the pack that. going you talk about the republicans, if you re running against someone who is a united states senator who voted against insulin caps. i mean, there is a story to tell for democrats. especially those who aren t very, very competitive districts and at the end of the day i just think that this is another new, cycle this is another story but many republicans want to wash their hands of donald trump. they just don t say loudly. so, we shall see. we shall see indeed who is more exhausted, who is punching what pearls and what
costs. that is a game-changer. while we know that this may not be something that happens tomorrow, next month, it s going to take time. but just the perspective of peoples life changing in ways that the american people have been wanting for so long. this is monumental. the point you make that it s gonna take time, you, know i worked in the administration. when we first came in we talked about the arp, american rescue plan. immediate relief! and this build back better package which is like this is build back better light. it was some long term relief for the american people but they may not see immediately, but it will make a difference overtime. part of, that wendy just talked about prescription drugs, insulin caps. every republican in the united states senate voted no on capping insulin for seniors at $35. is that gonna make them vulnerable? absolutely. if it s message right, that s the whole name of the game. they just need to say what i just. set right on. you make it plai
