Lets get the read from patrice from the independent womens forum and democratic strategist, laura fink. Lets start with you, patrice. Right now in the election were held told, the economy and inflation would be number 1. President bidens handling is under water significantly, particularly with independents. Those in swing states, those will be the voters deciding the next election. That said, at the start of 2020, i dont think anybody would have anticipated a pandemic disrupting the entire nash and giving a lift up to President Biden. Its early. At this point, the economy is a huge factor. Laura, some of the numbers that are trending along with President Biden, 19 said their personal 19 points increase in those that say their personal situation has gotten more negative. We see that across the board. I think thats right. Charles, i agree with patrice. I think think is going to be a huge issue in the 2024 campaign. I think back to where Ronald Reagan was in 1983, where president obamas i
first of all, i thought that interview was a dumpster fire. the bidenomics he used the phrase bidenomics. i wouldn t want to be corning bidenomics. that is the fliest inflation in four decades, the highest gas prices on record, the worst labor shortage and supply crisis and we can t find baby formula. that is bidenomics for the average american. this talk about the deficit. now they re talking about the deficit. americans right now with all the price problems we re having, they don t care about the federal budget deficit. they care about their personal budget deficit. they care about the deficit in their paychecks. 8.5% inflation is outpacing any wage gain. they care about the deficit and 401(k)s and retirement plan. they care about the deficit in their gas tanks because they can t afford to fuel up. they care about the deficit of baby formula. focusing on the deficit right now, they re just searching for something positive to say and the numbers looking for the silver cloud, the
in the dark clouds. all the americans see is the dark cloud. martha: maybe a silver cloud. this ultra it would be nice. this ultra maga phrase is getting a lot of attention. here s jen psaki talking about the thinking behind it. here she is. people have asked, where do you come up with ultra maga? what did president trump call it? big maga? the king of maga? this is all he is having a good time being out, drawing the contrast and i think you ll see more of that. that i think will be helpful? sharpening nor the public what the choices are. martha: your thoughts on that, marc. the ultra maga agenda misunderstands the 2020 election, which is that americans didn t vote against the trump agenda. they voted against donald trump. they loved the trump agenda. in the middle of the pandemic, in 2020, gallup poll, 56% of americans, a record, said they were better off now than four
lieberman, i wted to get you on the record with the possibility that he might become the nominee for fbi. yeah, listen, there are a lot of people that would be comforted by a decision like that. certainly, the republicans in the congress that worry this white house the most, john mccain, lindsey graham, who have been the loudest critics of all of these sort of ties in the dark clouds and the swirl between mike flynn and the trump orbit and russia, would be very comforted by having their longtime friend, joe lieberman, running an agency. he is a man with sort of the same kind of code of ethics and code of honor that we speak about when we talk about bob mueller. from joe lieberman s stand popo, he capped a lifetime of service. he was al gore s runs mate. he then became an independent and he said his party had left him, he hadn t left the party. i don t know if the white house thinks this is thing that democrats will swoon over. it might be more of a mixed picture from democrats, but h
