Economy. A source of frustration for voters nationally, even as a huge number of those same americans say their own financial situation is actually pretty good. So whats the Biden Campaign supposed to do with that . Well talk about it coming up. Plus, israels apologies, doing nothing to stem the global fury over the killing of seven aid workers. The white house calling for accountability are from netanyahus government, but are harsh words all there is, or will World Leaders actually act . And Donald Trumps last ditch attempt to get the judge in his Hush Money Trial to throw himself off the case. Could it work . We begin with whats both the most obvious key to winning in november and also the biggest conundrum. The u. S. Economy. We have brand new polling that gives us important insights into just how important it is. Even as joe biden focuses his Campaign Message on abortion and health care. And donald trump is stoking fears about migrants at his campaign stops. Its a border blood bath
Do you remember this moment in may of 2021. Whats going to be different about floridas election in 2022 . What are you about to sign . So right now i have what we think is the strongest Election Integrity measures in the country. Ill sign it right here. It will take effect. So the bill is signed. Governor ron desantis nearly three years ago signing floridas Voter Suppression bill and doing it live on fox and friends. That little exclusive became a campaign hallmark. Desantis built it on turning his state into a maga wonderland. A year later desantis signed the stop woke act, banning the study of race if it made white people uncomfortable. Governor desantis said slavery benefited people. And suggesting slavery was sort of a skills training program. He signed the dont say gay bill, which banned any teaching about homosexuality or Gender Identity in florida public schools. And all of this was suppose to transform florida into a Conservative Utopia that then would put ron desantis directly

Wagner tonight wherever you get your podcast. Now it is time for the last word with Lawrence Odonnell. Good evening. Good evening. All they have been trying to think, when is the last time i was in a room with donald trump . Because i was in a room with him today and i think, i am pretty sure this is correct, that it was 13 years ago at the white house Correspondents Dinner in 2011 when president obama had some thoughts with donald trump. That was a big one. I was sitting a couple of tables away, over there, watching the trump side of that and went down to the courtroom today to discover, alex, that 13 years later, his hair is exactly the same color. It has not aged a bit. Like a fine, fine wine. So there is a lot. There is a lot to talk about. I feel like there are a number of premises of jokes.
