Summary

Both men are strikingly unpopular — two-thirds of Americans don't want Trump to run for president again and just 41 percent approve of Biden's job performance, according to a recent poll from NPR/PBS NewsHour/Marist. But the Democratic performance in the 2022 midterm elections and other recent polling suggests voters who don't like Biden might cast a ballot for him anyway.

This episode: political correspondent Susan Davis, White House correspondent Scott Detrow, senior political editor and correspondent Domenico Montanaro, television critic Eric Deggans, and disinformation correspondent Shannon Bond.

The podcast is produced by Elena Moore and Casey Morell. This episode was edited by Lexie Schapitl and Eric McDaniel. Our executive producer is Muthoni Muturi.
