Jen, you're a messaging expert. How much of a difference does a good state of the union make? Does it make a difference? It's a good foundation. You know, I wouldn't expect to see a big bump in his approval ratings because of this,. But like, but it is a foundation for where you can operate from the rest of the year when you get into the debt limit fight.
We discuss Biden's State of the Union speech — and the state of the Democratic party — with three of the party's savviest strategists: Bernie Sanders’s 2020 campaign manager Faiz Shakir, former White House Communications Director (and host of The Circus) Jennifer Palmieri, and Tom Bonier, the CEO of TargetSmart.
On the agenda: how Marjorie Taylor Greene's State of the Union heckling made President Biden shine, how Democrats have rallied in response to Trump, whether the party can win the narrative and wedge-issue wars...and, of course, if Biden is running in 2024.
