Representative Ro Khanna, who again thinks he's going to run for president, put out a tweet, quote, if we were not at war, the Fed would have cut rates two to three times this year.

Now it will likely be zero.

Okay, first of all, that's not true.

If we were not at war, the Fed probably would have left the rates where they are.

Americans are paying more for their mortgages, more for credit cards, more for student debt, more for food and gas, all because Trump went along with Netanyahu's Iran war.

Again, got to sneak some of that anti-Semitic conspiracizing in there.

The idea being that, of course, Netanyahu talked Trump into the war as opposed to Trump having any level of agency.

Okay, well, here is the question.

With all of this being the case, with the propaganda out there that the president doesn't care about the economy, with the poll numbers that suggest that Americans are not super happy with the economy, and that Americans have problems with our foreign policy, with our domestic policy, why are Democrats in Congress unable to pull away from Republicans?

What is happening?

Because that is the actual big hidden story here.

Harry Enten at CNN points out that right now, the question of whether Democrats even win back the House, which they clearly should, that is up for grabs.

Remember,

it is an off-year election.

Every off-year election favors the party out of power.

But Democrats are having a tough time clearing the bar.

Harry Anton explains.

The real question here, though, is why are Democrats only leading by three points?

Remember, Republicans are in control of Congress and the Senate and the presidency, and the president is riding at about 40% of the approval ratings.

Why are Democrats unable to pull away?
