argument that he declassified documents as president. writing in part this, the record contains no evidence that any of these records were declassified. but even without evidence, the former president continuing to make this claim. in an inteiew, just last night, the fox news host sean hannity claiming he declassified documents by simply thinking about it. it doesn t have to be a process, as i understand it. you know, there s different people said there are different things but as i understand, there doesn t have to be the president. you re the president of the united states, you can declassify by saying it s declassified, by thinking about, it because you re sending it to mar-a-lago or wherever you re sending it. but the headline here is, really none of that matters, right, as the 11th district writes this, in any event, at least for these purposes, the declassification argument is a red herring because declassifying an official document would not change its content or r
good to be with you this afternoon. i m peter alexander, in today for katy tur. and president biden is about to touch down in new york. yup, new york. not your typical battleground state, 12 days out from these crucial midterm elections. why? because republicans are pushing their advantage deep into the blue strong hold during these final weeks. the president will intensify his efforts to paint republicans as a threat to the economy and the wallets of every day americans in a speech this afternoon. he s going to speak directly to residents in the syracuse area. there he is specifically, an area that stands to benefit specifically from the economic legislation that he has passed in recent months. but is it too little too late? new polling from usa today and suffolk university suggests democrats have an uphill climb and voters prefer the generic republican congressional candidate over a democratic one, that is a nine-point game for republicans since july. suggesting most of the
