A top political adviser to the president told Politico yesterday, quote, I think you'll see him be very, very focused on prices and cost of living. Those were the key messages for governor gubernatorial candidates Mikey Cheryl and Abigail Spanberger as well as Zoron Mandani in the New York City mayorals mayoral race.All three of course easily won their elections on Tuesday. But in his speech to business leaders in ...

The last word with Lawrence O'Donnell starts right now. Hey, Lawrence. >> Hey, Jen.Uh, you know, I think many of us were expecting some sort of um interpretation necessary about last night's results. I mean, you know, yet during say yesterday afternoon, like you know, maybe it' be a win here, a loss there, and it'd be a mixed bag of of data to try to figure out uh what was the real outcome, but boy, you just couldn't have had a clearer result last night. You're you're so right and I know you were talking ab ...

So, Donald Trump and this bevy of MAGA Republicans are very comfortable lying to the public left and right. We all know that. But there are some lies that you just can't really get away with. >> For people that don't have 401ks or not invested in the stock market, they've seen their grocery prices go up. Inflation. >> No, you're wrong. They went up under Biden. Right now, they're going down. I mean, Trump has shown a remarkable ability over the years to convince large swaths of the American public of all so ...

We are now 362 days away from the midterms. Today, President Donald John Trump hosted Senate Republicans at the White House and shared what he thought of his party's big losses in last night's elections. >> Last night, it was uh, you know, not expected to be a victory.It was very Democrats, but I I don't think it was good for Republicans. I thought we'd have a discussion after the press leaves about uh what last night represented and what we should do about it and also about the shutdown, how that relates t ...

Well, last night, Donald Trump went from being a lame duck to being a humiliated duck when voters from coast to coast turned out to vote against Donald Trump and his candidates and his policies in every place and in every way that they could. Donald Trump's explanation today for the Republican wip wipe out last night is that Donald Trump was not on the ballot. That's what he says. The Conservative Wall Street Journal editorial board has written a reply to that under the headline, "Trump really was on the ba ...

Most Americans right now, they could care less. They really could care less about all these boogeyman tactics and fear tactics the Republicans are using. What they want to hear from Republicans and Democrats is, "How are you going to improve my life? How are you going to help me afford my life and be able to actually get ahead and not just get by?" Most people can barely survive right now in this country.And you have one party who is literally kicking people off of health insurance, kicking people off of fo ...

The shutdown obviously played a big part when we think especially about Virginia and those northern Virginia suburbs of Washington which are kind of de facto parts of Washington. Uh what did you see last night. What are you hearing from sources on the Hill about how this happened and what it means.>> Well, look, they had always felt good about Virginia and I think it's striking the way that you saw Hakee Jeff already come out. The idea that House Democrats provide the path forward for what the Democratic pa ...

I do love the jersey, but not as much as the vest you wore for >> I mean that look last night. You made a decision. >> Yeah, you called it though because you everybody was kind of not sure whether they should think it's a good idea or not.And you made a comment. I'm going to let you say it. >> I I I saw that and I said, "Who brought the Darianne dad taking the train home uh before he takes the kids to lacrosse practice?" And sure enough, other people on the social media platform agreed.>> Yes. I was just, y ...

I'm going to give an unpopular opinion for a moment. In Mammy's extraordinary speech that he gave last night, extraordinary. I mean, I was I'm I'm a sucker for these speeches, but especially his.Just to watch somebody go from being an absolute unknown to winning the election of, of course, what I think is the most important city in America, I just think was extraordinary. However, I do think and I know he won, you know, he's a Democratic socialist, but he is going to be the mayor for this whole city. And wh ...

The reports of the death of the Democratic Party were very premature, clearly, right. Look, I've been working my ass off for these last nine months. I' I've traveled to 34 states, and what I will tell you is the motto at the DNC, you've heard me say this before, is when you organize everywhere, you can win anywhere.And that's what you've seen throughout the country last night. It was a repudiation of Donald Trump and his disastrous economic policies. It was a repudiation of um this administration's callous ...
