The 'Sentiment' Recession, Manchin's Revenge, and ALEC News
The latest economic report shows a second successive quarter of contraction. Duane Patterson and I parse out the data, discuss the Biden administration's dancing around the word "recession," and why this won't be the last bad economic indicator for Biden and Democrats. We also wonder if Manchin double-crossed Mitch McConnell and whether Chuck Schumer can hold his new reconciliation deal together once Kyrsten Sinema and House progressives take a hard look at it.
