Meet The Press host Kristen Welker challenged Minnesota Senator Amy Klobuchar over the weekend on President Biden’s economy and his obvious cognitive decline. Klobuchar insists the Biden economy is humming and Joe is sharp as ever — but Welker says Americans aren’t buying it.
Welker also suggested that it may be time for Joe to “pass the torch.”
“Senator, let me just follow up with you a little bit here because you cite those figures on the economy and yet the vast majority of Americans say they are not feeling it when it comes to the economy. They give President Biden low marks on the economy. It’s not resonating with voters. Why do you think — you obviously ran against President Biden in 2020; he promised that essentially he would build a bridge to the next generation — do you think it’s time to pass the torch?” Welker questioned.
“Again, I’m a believer in President Biden [because] I believe he is a good, moral person that has the backs of the people of this country and, just the examples I cited as time and time again, people have sided with that over election-deniers and the like. So I am proud to be supporting Joe Biden for president. As far as the challenges: the challenges are real and that is why, not just President Biden but many of us in the Senate have been leading the way in bringing down costs,” Klobuchar stated before Welker interrupted.
“But voters don’t feel it, Senator. Voters say, they don’t feel it. Why?” Welker questioned. “They’re not feeling the impacts, the numbers, the figures that you’re talking about. They don’t feel it in their pocketbooks when they go to the grocery store to buy groceries. Why is that and do you think he has time to reverse this, the low marks he’s getting on that critical point of the economy?”
“Okay, well there are many challenges in front of us and people are going to have to decide if they want to go back to that chaos or look at someone that actually has the proof points of working on bringing costs down. And if you want to talk about numbers and polls and how people are feeling, let me give you some numbers. $35 a month, that’s how much insulin is going to be for seniors and actually for others as well as the prices are rolling out. Number two, 3.4 million, that’s how many veterans will be helped by taking on toxic burn pits. 40,000, there’s a number, that’s how many infrastructure projects, including the bridge from Minnesota to Wisconsin, that are getting funded and completed right now as we speak,” Klobuchar stated.

Klobuchar also defended Biden’s obvious cognitive decline, saying she spent 60 minutes with him and “he was focused, his recall was good.”
The epic gaslighting campaign continues.
