popular president in modern american history. nobody is impressed by joe biden, and that would be including dr. jill. so this is a big problem for the biden family, obviously, but a much bigger problem for the democratic party, which joe biden leads. unpopular presidents drag their parties to the bottom in midterm elections. that s the unchanging rule of politics. you saw it famously in 1994, with republican takeover of congress after two disastrous years with bill clinton. you saw it in 2006 after hurricane katrina. you saw it in 2010 after obamacare. you saw it in 2018. in fact, it may well happen in 2022. we re certainly praying for it. to be honest, the numbers don t show that happening. not even close. in fact, all the indications we have right now suggest that despite joe biden s well-earned unpopularity, the democratic party still again, as of tonight has a strong chance of holding congress in november. the prediction markets, which many believe are more accurate t

few moments from now. it was here almost exactly 24 hours ago now that a gunman opened fire from the roof of a building about two blocks behind me, killing six people, you can hear the sounds of it right there, wounding 25. it caused hundreds of people to flee the scene. a real moment of sheer terror. you can see actually behind us now some of the chairs that they left behind still littering the scene here. police did find a gun on the roof of that building. ultimately about eight hours later they were able to apprehend someone there y re calling a person of interest, they used the phrase suspect, that person has been in custody overnight and several hours and investigators are going through his past trying to learn more about what might have led him to open fire on this celebration of the nation s independence. let s get the very latest on where the investigation stands this morning, i m joined by josh campbell who has been on the scene now for 20 hours at this point chasing
