biden s performance in a new poll, and the majority of democrats want the party to flat out dump him and pick someone else as their 2024 nominee. there s no circling back on this. remember that? former white house press secretary says democrats are doomed if the midterms are about biden. if the election is about who s the most extreme, as we saw kevin mccarthy touch on there with marjorie taylor greene, i ll say her name, sitting on his left side, if it s a referendum on the president, they will lose, and they know that. as democrats reel from all the bad news, there s more, a top pollter predicts that the gop midterm turnout will exceed all expectations. this year our fear people won t be polled that are trump supporters because of what biden has said, apparent attacks, people coming after them. there s a hesitancy to participate. everybody w will underexpect th. thank you for joining us. i bet you have a book, don t you? his name is robert trafalgar. he s talking ab
