CNN senior data reporter Harry Enten said Tuesday that Biden was doing "worse than Jimmy Carter" on inflation and that American people were holding him responsible.

Enten starts by pointing out that in Biden’s America, consumer sentiment is the worst it has ever been since the University of Michigan began measuring it in 1952. He adds that the reason for people feeling this way is obvious, because the consumer price index is the worst it’s been since 1974.

When asked how Biden’s performance rates, Enten said “AWFUL!”, noting that Biden is actually doing worse than Jimmy Carter at the same time in his presidency with a 71% disapproval rating on inflation versus Carter with only a 66% disapproval rating.

Enten ends with this: “When you’re doing worse than Jimmy Carter’s doing in the minds of Americans on inflation, you know that they’re holding you responsible for the conditions that are currently on the ground that are hurting Americans in their pocket books.”

He said that while it was not a surprise, Americans "much more trust the Republican Party" on inflation. 

Inflation hit 8.6% in May, reaching a new 40-year-high. 

Enten also emphasized that inflation was the driver behind the negative views of the president. 

"Obviously for Democrats, any comparison to Jimmy Carter at this stage for President Biden, it's not a great comparison," Cooper said. 

Enten agreed and added that inflation was the number one issue for voters ahead of the midterms. 

He said that in looking at the generic congressional ballot ahead of the midterms, Republicans had the best position "basically, of all time at this point in a midterm cycle." 

Politico reported that the White House was worried the parallels to the Jimmy Carter presidency were going to stick with the administration amid skyrocketing gas prices and inflation.

The president is also very frustrated about his approval rating dipping below former President Donald Trump's, who he believes to be the "worst president," Politico reported.

NBC Washington Correspondent Yamiche Alcindor and former U.S. Attorney Barbara McQuade join Andrea Mitchell to discuss key challenges facing the January 6 Committee ahead of their primetime hearings this week: getting a "distracted nation" to pay attention and understand what's at stake. “I think the biggest challenge for lawmakers here, as they talk about these sort of huge ideas of American democracy and sort of the experiment that we're all living in, benefiting from, possibly being brought to his knees, is whether or not they can make people care,” says Alcindor. “The American public has been groomed to expect high value quick entertainment,” says McQuade. "I think putting together a polished show can be very important."

 NBC News correspondent Yamiche Alcindor worried Democrats would have a difficult time making Americans "care" and pay attention to the January 6 hearings, amid high gas prices, inflation, and a baby formula shortage. Appearing in a MSNBC panel Monday, Alcindor told host Andrea Mitchell that the "biggest challenge" the January 6 House Select Committee faced was getting Americans to have the same level of concern for their investigation. "I think the biggest challenge for lawmakers here as they talk about these sort of huge ideas of American democracy and sort of the experiment that we’re all living and benefiting from possibly being brought to his knees is whether or not they can make people care, Andrea," she said.

Chris Cuomo and Don Lemon discuss President Donald Trump's comments about race after the 2019 Oscars. Be nice if Spike Lee could read his notes, or better yet not have to use notes at all, when doing his racist hit on your President, who has done more for African Americans (Criminal Justice Reform, Lowest Unemployment numbers in History, Tax Cuts,etc.) than almost any other Pres! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) February 25, 2019 The left loves to hate on Trump, calling him a racist and what not. I know Trump can be juvenile sometimes – certainly – but the racist and hateful name-calling is just what it is, garbage.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez scrambled Sunday to explain why neighbors at her listed Bronx address never saw her there — and ended up claiming she recently relocatedto a larger place nearby. The day after The Post reported that residents said they had never seen her around — and she ducked questions about it after an appearance — her spokesman said the Democratic freshman congresswoman now lives with her boyfriend in a two-bedroom apartment “a block and a half away.’’ The pair relocated there earlier this month, he said. “She lives in the same neighborhood she’s lived in for years,” said the spokesman, Corbin Trent. “She is not living in the exact same condo.’’ The recent move still didn’t explain why residents at her previous digs — a one-bedroom Bronx condo owned by her mom — insisted they had never seen her there. U.S. reps and senators are required to have a residence in their home districts. Trent claimed that Ocasio-Cortez, 29, was at her new home Sunday afternoon, al
