talk about him here and greg talked eloquently about him and his candidacy and he s speaking to a part of the country and middle class aspirations and values. i don t agree with him on his position on the war, but he s veered in the last few weeks talking about conspiracy theories and look at polling data, he s come down a bit in the polls and i think the vaccines and even the words about israel and jewish americans. that s not why i think people were interested or tantalized by his campaign from the outset. if he wants to get back to the kennedy camelot mode and talk about middle class family issues and aspirations and va values ad how the wealth gap is worsening and how he ll address that. he s not helping to advance his campaign. jeanine: greg, 65% of americans think that the country is too divided and one of the reasons joe biden was elected because he was going to unify us he said. if that s the case, why are so many people supporting biden and
