Because of rising prices, the prolonged conflict in Iran, and other factors, “Republicans are not in a good place; the White House is not in a good place,” Zolan Kanno-Youngs, a White House correspondent at The New York Times, argued last night. “In response to that challenge, you are seeing the president not say, Distance yourself from me; do what you’ve got to do, but rather, Pretend I am on the ballot.”Joining the editor in chief of The Atlantic, Jeffrey Goldberg, to discuss this and more: Kanno-Youngs; Janay Kingsberry, a staff writer at The Atlantic; Michelle Price, a White House reporter at The Associated Press; Steve Inskeep, the host of NPR’s Morning Edition.
