economic plan is working and he thinks the best way to keep the economy growing is for congress to give him a few trillion more dollars. he says these packages congress is considering are not a short-term stimulus but long-term investment. we expect to hear remarks from him later on this morning before he goes to delaware. dana: going from the white house to the front lines of the border crisis with trey mendez the mayor of brownsville, texas. great to be with you this morning. we had the polling number, right. president biden number approval on immigration at 35%. pretty dismal. what do you think it would be there in your town? you know, dana, it s hard to tell. depends who you ask. our city you have some people that are in favor of immigration and legal immigration, then you have others that really are concerned about the public health concerns that we ve got
my eyeballs were bleeding. they probably mentioned joe biden as often as they mentioned president trump. i think joe, for democrats, should wear that as a badge of honor. he should say no matter who we nominate, they re going to lie about him. i ve proven i can take it. on the day he announced, joe biden was at 28. today he s at 26 after all the sling scenarios, all the ups and downs. his support is far more resilient than a lot of people thought it might be. he s been a remarkably tough candidate and i think a lot of people, myself included, were concerned from the beginning that he was going to slip and fall, and there he is right where he was when he began the race. m.j., another polling number that stood out to us in this new poll is that those democrats that are very satisfied with their choices essentially, it s down. it s not even high either in june at 38% or now at 31%. what does that mean for the party s chances in 2020? look, i think it means that
states is in the chair. senators are not allowed to speak. they listen. and i m not sure how long it will go on. it looks to me like the house is determined to impeach the president. i can t imagine a scenario under which president trump would be removed from office, with 67 votes in the senate. so i don t know how long senators will want to continue the trial but i m pretty confident at the end, it will not, impeachment will not lead to ouster. so let s get to some of the new polling number, the latest abc news ipsis poll puts issues on the issue, 70% think the president s actions on ukraine were wrong. 70%. 25% say they were not wrong. among those who think his actions were wrong, 51%, just over half, think he should be impeached and removed from office.
how are you? good. so i want to start with this. by the way, this is way more fun than talking to a little lens. i like human beings. so let s start with this idea. that polling number really jumped out at me, because i do think it s the case that people have a lot of cynicism. they think there s a lot of corruption and self-dealing in government. they re not necessarily wrong about that. as someone who was there, as someone who was general counsel for department of defense, what is your response to people who say this is normal? well, you re right, it didn t start with the trump administration. there has been a long-term trend line of a loss of confidence in our leaders dating back to the vietnam watergate era.
necessity politically was a pretty unscrupulous about following the letter of the law. helping me the former secretary of homeland security jay johnson. so i want to start with this, right by the way, this is way more fun than talking through a little lens. yes, i like human beings. so do i. so let s start with this idea. that polling number really jumped out at me, because i think there s a lot of corruption and self-dealing in government, and they re not necessarily wrong about that. but someone who was there as the general council for department of defense, there for homeland security, what is your response to people who say this is normal? well, you re right.
