growth that is occurring, and the growth that will be seeded if he can get manchin over the line and pass this build back better pact, what that says is that if that growth is there and they are right that inflation recedes at some point in his term, biden s position could look a lot better in six months after the midterm than it does on the midterm day. that s really what happened to reagan and clinton and obama. they came in at a moment of economic turbulence, things didn t turn around in the eyes of the voters, and then the second half of their term the economy started to improve. some of the policies they passed initially, the effect was felt more widely and they solidified their position and all of them won re-election, especially reagan. i m saying it is a real precedent we ve seen in three presidents in the last 40 years have that bad midterm and then have the economy kind of lift them along with some political developments to a pretty
