Soft and america has beaten back the unprecedented economic challenges of the global pandemic and the ensuing disruption to the economy. It is proof that the biden economic recovery has been nothing short of miraculous. Especially given the mess he inherited from trump and the u. S. Outperformed every other country on earth. Trump like so many republicans before him has enjoyed a pulling advantage with voters over the economy. That may be changing. Multiple polls in recent weeks suggesting harris is closing the gap and possibly even leading trump on economic issues. Harris has been helped by trumps inability to feign caring about the expenses of americans as he proved earlier this month with that rambling answer to that direct question in New York. It was Word Salad but with one under noticed but toxic ingredient that deserves more attention. If you take it in november, can you commit to making childcare affordable and if so what specific legislation will you advance . Childcare is chi

How Coronavirus Transmits helps save their season. All in starts right now. Good evening from new york. Im chris hayes. The first ever second Impeachment Trial Set to start a week from tomorrow, we have a whole bunch of developments in the case against the former president. And was one of the most reckless acts of any president in american history. First, there is the unsurprising upheaval in the former president s legal team. At least three lawyers left the team in recent days after trump asked them to focus their defense on continuing the big Poisonous Lie hes been pushing that the election was fraudulent, stolen. This comes just days after one of those lawyers, butch bowers of columbia, south carolina, said he did not hesitate to defend trump, saying, quote, it is who i am, it is what i do. Former president now has two new attorneys named just last night, bruce castor jr. Who previously declined to prosecute bill cosby and bill schoen who represented a whole bunch of folks including
