so, yes, inflation, if we talk about annual rates have come down from nine to six to five to as the latest 3.2%. that s certainly good. again, it s tough to draw a straight line between that. as an economist, you don t want to live in the now, you want to live in the patience of the future. wait for the effects to come, nothing is immediate in the world of economy. brian cheung, thank you so much. indictment after indictment after indictment, and donald trump keeps on gaining ground over his republican challengers nationally, at least. what about state by state? what georgia insiders are telling nbc news about what this indictment could do to trump s numbers there. plus, what started the maui wildfires, new potential evidence is out there. we re back in 60 seconds. t ther. we re back in 60 seconds businesses need 5g solutions today. that s why they choose t-mobile for business. mlb partners with t-mobile to not only enhance the fan experience, but to advance how the game is playe
september 5th. which is just a couple of weeks out. we don t have a name on which arraignment, but it could potentially be all 19. what do you think? i believe it will be all 19. and so again, as we look to they have until next friday, august 25th. to turn themselves in. having a september 5th arraignment. that does put it at the six month mark from the official start of the case. i m sure we ll see more motions to remove and other things, and if i could speak to the removal motion for one minute, in order to be successful, the former federal officials will need to show that their actions, as outlined in the indictment were part of their federal authority, under the color of their federal jobs. and we and the d.a. has said from the very beginning, that elections is something that s squarely within the state fur view, the president, the chief of staff, anybody at doj, unless they re investigating does not have that s not part of their
georgia insiders are telling us to watch this indictment, see what might change with it. reporter: right. you know, i think especially this hits at the general election, katy, i think is where this conversation goes because as noah was pointing out, since each of donald trump s indictment is lead among the republican primary electorate, has only expanded. back on the day of the first indictment, it was 15 percentage points. now today you look at the new quinnipiac poll that came out this afternoon, we re talking about a 40-point advantage for donald trump. that is where the concern is for folks in georgia, especially i have been talking to folks in arizona that donald trump is hurting himself in a potential general election match up with joe biden. in 2020, it was a 10 percentage point advantage for biden over trump, among georgia independents and for donald trump, you are dealing with the reality that if, in fact, this trial date were to start in march or even be pushed back here, t
