Politics with Amy Walter: Will Trump’s Take on the Economy Resonate With Voters?

The Takeaway

Today we’re talking about the economy. The two big questions: 1.) Everyone says the economy is doing great. Objectively, is that true? And 2.) If it is true, why aren’t the Republicans and President better positioned going into the midterms?

Guests:

Lynn Vavreck, Hoffenberg Chair of American Politics at UCLA and a contributor to The Upshot at The New York Times

Jim Tankersley, reporter covering economic and tax policy for the New York Times
