basic kind of goal that they laid out in the administration turning shutting down the pandemic, turning the economy around, i think you re going to see a stepped-up messaging effort on the part of the president, on the part of the administration, particularly as we re in a midterm year. obviously we know congressional mid-terms are inherently a referendum on the party in charge of the white house. and that s kind of difficult to change. but the more that s president can do in terms of taking his administration s accomplishments and contracting it with a republican agenda or republican issues on certain issues, i think that s one thing you will start to see the president do more and more. for example, talk about the $1.9 trillion coronavirus relief package and saying there was money in that legislation that republicans did not support that got your schools back open, that had the child tax credit provision that significantly put a significant dent on child poverty. the problem is in
