Several members of the guests that were invited, victims of Jeffrey Epstein, your committee's investigating that.
What more do you think needs to be done on this front?
You've probably seen polling over the last couple of days leading up to the State of the Union charting the president's performance on the economy.
The last one, this one from The Post and ABC News, saying 57 percent of Americans disapproved of that handling of the economy.
Do you think that's a messaging issue as far as what the administration wants to tout and how Americans are receiving that?
no mind blown to quote the show blossom joey whoa i mean look at this okay sheriff texas midterm primary ballots at this point in the cycle cast in democratic primaries or republican primaries in 2022 the last midterm overwhelmingly the votes were being cast in republican primaries 62 but look at what's going on now in the 2026 cycle more votes are being cast on the democratic side what a shift
from where we were four years ago at this point more people in texas picking up the democratic ballot more democrats are voting in texas than republicans i mean how unusual is that just how unusual well you see the massive shift from 2022 but look at history go all the way back when was the last time that more people actually picked up a democratic ballot cast about a democratic primary in texas in the midterm you have to go all the way back
to 2002.
And I will note, it really hasn't even been close since 2002.
Overwhelmingly, more people have been voting on the Republican side in Texas.
And this year so far, more people are voting on the Democratic side.
Okay, so we've only really been talking about the early vote, but if you look at the Cal State prediction market, what you actually see is the chance to have higher Texas primary turnout
Right now, the people putting their money where their mouth is actually slightly predict that there'll be more votes cast on the Democratic side than on the Republican side.
Sixty percent to 40 percent.
Still a close race.
But given that Republicans have been so outvoting Democrats, I think I think we get it.
The issue that might clip this administration and that's the economy on screen.
Now we can show you three of the most recent polls about the economy.
How about Americans are feeling about it?
Everything in red.
