These are the other three presidents in the last two to generations, like joe biden, saw their party lose the house in the first midterm. jump in 18, obama intent, clinton back in 94. this is where they were in their approval rating basically at the same point as they delivered their state of the union addresses. biden is right smack in the middle of the territory, but look at this, this is how the midterms went for those three other presidents, trump, obama, clinton, they got slaughtered. biden...

Could possibly find. and here we are. so our top of the ticket in michigan last week, they were all election deniers. and you know what? they all got beat badly. voters are tired. lets move forward. and of course tudor dixon, who was an election denier backed by trump concede, did concede and said congratulations to gretchen whitmer, which is significant and not what were seeing from kari lake. this comes in the context of a full room in mar-a-lago tonight, congressman, and trump going ahead wit...

Same range heading into their first midterm election. republicans lost the house in 2018. the bad midterm for them. democrats lost the house in 2010. bad midterm for them. and joe biden right in that same range where trump and obama were. the one exception was back in 2002. george w. bush after 9/11 was still very popular. republicans actually gained a few house seats. again, the approval rating for biden is right in line with what you would expect for a party in big trouble. so, too, is this qu...

Term, bidens position could look a lot better in six months after the midterm than it does on the midterm day. thats really what happened to reagan and clinton and obama. they came in at a moment of economic turbulence, things didnt turn around fast enough 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 pr...

Turn around fast enough to prevent his party from having a bad midterm. as the economy stabilizes and gains momentum in the second half of his term, he recovers to win re-election. thats pretty much the story of reagan from 82 to 84, clinton and obama. i think there is more reason for them to be confident that they could be getting this kind of tail wind in time for the second half of bidens presidency and this epic battle we are shaping up for in 2024. >> something certainly the white house is ...
