Deep dives
DeSantis Campaign Struggles and Lack of Momentum
The DeSantis campaign has been described as a 'total failure to launch' with mismanagement and wasted efforts. Reports of the CEO working on a puzzle during critical days in Iowa raised concerns about campaign focus and dedication. DeSantis now appears to be a 'zombie candidate' with no clear path forward.
Trump's Attacks on Nikki Haley
President Trump is sharpening his attacks on Nikki Haley, targeting her race, ethnicity, and spreading false conspiracy theories about her eligibility to run. While this may appeal to his base, it could backfire in the general election and energize independent voters to vote against Trump by supporting Haley.
Democratic Writing Campaign for Biden
The writing campaign for President Biden in the New Hampshire primary is being closely watched. While it is challenging and expectations are uncertain, it is crucial for Biden to have a strong showing, as it could impact the optics of his campaign and his electability in the general election.
Economic Concerns for Biden's Campaign
Voters in Pennsylvania express frustration with the Biden administration's messaging on the economy. Despite positive economic indicators, individuals are not feeling the benefits and believe the administration is out of touch. Biden's campaign is encouraged to address these concerns and embrace populism as a more effective attack strategy against Trump.
The Importance of Populism and Economic Messaging
The American electorate is looking for a fighter who can address economic concerns and connect with their populist ideals. Addressing issues related to the economy and emphasizing the contrast between Biden's focus on the people and Trump's ties to big businesses could be key in winning over voters.

NBC News Chief Political Analyst Chuck Todd and Senior National Political Correspondent Steve Kornacki give a preview into primary night. Dasha Burns, Lanhee Chen, Jonathan Martin and Jen Psaki join the Meet the Press roundtable.
