Motoko Rich, National Economics Reporter for our partner the New York Times, and Todd Zwillich, Washington correspondent for The Takeaway, discuss what’s in store for the week ahead. On the list: several new reports on economic indices, the parties’ spin on last week’s bad news, the falling stock market, the fate of Wisconsin’s Governor Scott Walker, and presidential fundraising efforts in New York City.
