of this is cnn political analyst julian zell ger. he s a historian and professor at princeton university. great to have you on this morning. let s dig deeper into what lauren was explaining there, because we heard the president say and question what the republicans stand for and that they have been roadblocks all the way. but the real focus as of late has been on those two democratic senators, right, sinema and manchin. here s what the president said. i want to play it for you and we ll talk about it about how he plans to address them specifically on bbb in the months ahead. i think the most important thing to do is try to inform, not educate, inform the public of what s at stake in stark terms and let them make judgments and let them know who s for them and who s against them. so assuming there he is talk about these two senators. at this point, what more can he inform them of? it was striking to hear the
should have been what he was doing from day one rather than in year two. perhaps they can settle on the electoral reform act. we are seeing some bipartisan support on that. that could count as a victory, however small, for many people s perspective for the president going into the midterms. julian, thank you as always. we appreciate it. thank you. coming up next, we will be live at the white house for today s jobs report. it was dispinting, but the big picture on employment remains positive in this country. we ll speak live with commerce secretary gina raimondo after a short break.
