Lugit: Biden has struck a very strong tone on Social Security and Medicare. I would like to see him just say it's clean debt ceiling increase, full stop. Lugit: There's some oversight the Republican Congress may do that's worthwhile looking into Afghanistan. Marjorie Taylor Greene, not cloaking herself in glory, should be questioned about her handling of Benghazi hearings.
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.
