The allure of Trump's faux populism and its dangerous grip on America's low information working class voter. As Biden's poll numbers waver, David defends the President's record, asserting that the economy's strength can't seem to compete against Trump's Big Lie. The origins of the MAGA movement, challenges faced by Democrats in reclaiming the trust of the working class. Biden has managed to temporarily lift more people out of poverty than any president since Lyndon Baines Johnson—a fact that often gets lost amid the cacophony of the Republican Noise Machine.
