This is not just a reckoning with the history of what happened in 2020. It`s a preview of what is coming our way very quickly.
I think it`s things like that working on gas prices, trying to keep them low, cost of living kitchen table issues, doing not just telling, I think is what is going to get this White House back on track seven months before an election.
I think there’s an apparatus that it’s built around this lie. It’s built around propagating this lie.
Look, I think Democrats had an awful night. And I think there’s no real sugarcoating that on a lot of different levels.
