Four stories. Former State Department official Matt Bartlett joined Jonathan Lemire on Morning Joe and was candid about Republican midterm prospects and the absence of a message beyond one bill.
A new Reuters Ipsos poll puts Trump's approval at his lowest recorded level, which brings up Sarah Longwell's Bush line theory. George W. Bush left office around 32 percent and his party closed the door on him. Longwell's argument is that if Trump lands there, Republicans will be forced to choose something different, though different does not guarantee better.
Charlamagne tha God gave Hakeem Jeffries a Donkey of the Day over his answer on Medicare for All, a bill Jeffries cosponsored from 2013 onward before becoming leader. Hawk connects that to why DSA backed candidates keep winning primaries: they campaign on what they are for.
Andy Beshear, twice elected in a red state, hit the economy, the Iran war, and corruption, then called for big ideas.
Also: Palm Beach County Clerk of Courts Mike Caruso has been arrested and charged.
