The presiding officer thank you. Mrs. Feinstein i rise to oppose the nomination of mr. Bress. This is a california seat on the ninth circuit, and the fact is that mr.

and the outcome of president biden s speech himself. what a party to actually benefit from biden bowing out? you have to support and defend the policies of joe biden which is bad electorally. if you show them i throw president biden off the ship, you two years after the presidency they are in this joe biden could be fine. joe biden could save his presidency if he would change course. todd: brooke singman has more between the media and the white house, brooke, good morning. good morning, guys to brush off bad poles and support the president biden continues to slide. last week the president s approval rating hitting a new low in new quinnipiac university poll shows 31% approved and 50% disapprove but yesterday white house chief of staff argued it s not the president s fault. listen to this. i think the president s approval rating is a reflection how people people feel about what is going on in the country. and some things in the country aren t going well not because the
