Fmr. DeSantis Campaign Officer Battles de Blasio: What People Care About Is How They Could Afford to Pay Bills

EXCERPT:

POLYANSKY: “And no matter what side you‘re on, you got to recognize the economy and inflation are not in a good place for Americans today — "

DE BLASIO: "Wait, wait, wait. The best economy in many ways. Hold on, I‘m not belittling inflation, but as an overall economy, this is a very strong American economy. We're actually leading the world — "

POLYANSKY: "And economy that voters care about right now?"

DE BLASIO: "I actually think that voters do care about jobs, and thankfully, there's a lot of jobs. I agree we have an inflation challenge, but I would caution to you, I think Joe Biden can take it to Donald Trump. The one thing Donald Trump doesn‘t do well with is someone being aggressive with him and staying on the offensive."

POLYANSKY: "I think that to a degree, that‘s fair. But I will say this: When you look at the cameras out to people that are hurting back in their houses tonight and figuring out how to pay their bills, can they afford their first home with interest rates being so high, that is what they care about.”
