welcome to alex witt reports. developing this hour, new word on the condition of paul pelosi after the terrifying attack at his san francisco home. how speaker nancy pelosi speaking her silence, saying her husband is doing better and she s grateful for the quick police response. and comes as audio reveals how a 9-1-1 operator may have saved his life. all of these new details ahead, new reaction from both sides of the political violence. i think this was a deranged individual. you can say, people saying let s fire pelosi or the take back the house. saying go to violence. i don t to see attacks on any politician from any political background. it is important people realize it is not just this moment, this horrific attack. that we have seen violence perpetrated throughout our political system. we are counting down to the midterms now nine days away. both party these sharpening their messages in this final stretch, democrats bring in one of their biggest weapons on the camp
Thinks democrats will fare in the midterms? you know, alex, i am reminded of the old line is the economy stupid? it is one of the import american issues where the americans think of the economy and what happened to the americans, good, bad, different is important voters. americans trust republicans more than democrats on the house of the economy. we are seeing to what democrats are doing trying to fix that problem. they re trying to get out a full court press against this country. for you see president obama in michigan in wisconsin yesterday. the first ladies in new york, new hampshire. even bernie sanders is out doing a tour of western states, to try to drive up turnout and get people excited about the economy and tell people what the democrats have done over the past two years. weather was the chips, act slayton, reduction act. that may not be in place until january 1st, but things that could help democrats in the future. and help all americans in the future. present biden, for hi
