obama and voted also overwhelmingly for joe biden. but he lost the, the democratic candidate, lost a lot of the suburbs around washington, d. c. and did really badly in rural areas, and they will start to pick over the results. they will look at things and say, well, look in virginia, the always vote against whoever is president. that's happened for a long time in new jersey. the will say, look, no democrat has ever won reelection, but you can't put lipstick on a pig to you see the appeal and spare mis phrase. the reality is that this was a bad night for the democrats. it was a bad night for joe biden, and they have to have a serious rethink before we get to the, the mid terms, which are no, just a year away. and very important. if the democrats want to keep a hold of the senate and the house and allen the, it's, and one of the democrats particularly worried about this because so there are those mid term elections next year. no reads either struggling to get things done. no. is there a wider fear that said there's trouble ahead? well,

s. president to tap into the reserve. barack obama did the same in 2011 to offset disruptions in supply because of the war in libya. our white house correspondent, kimberly hall, hood explains why the move hasn't been welcomed by everyone. what the criticism has been, is that this might resolve the issue in the short term and lead to some, in the immediate future, lower gas prices. but ultimately, because the issue of supply and demand globally has not been resolved, that this will drive the prices up. so what you heard there is the president not only saying, look at this is a global problem, but the fact that he's also saying that this will work out in the end one point to know. and all of this is that with regard to the release of these reserves, the president isn't just releasing it all over night. in fact, there's going to be one person down in the 1st 3 months and then another portion in the coming months. and this he believes is going to allow for this kind of staggered approach that will ensure as the supply catches up to the demand as a result of people turning the economy back

his figures for this time in his presidency much worse than barack obama's the last time a democrat was in the white house. and if we look at the recent races, that is the virginia governorship, also in newjersey, the democrats performed much worse than was expected. what's going on? the presidential approval ratings are like the stock market, subject to volatility, and i would be careful not to overinterpret day—to—day fluctuations. but, frankly, they're not that volatile. there's only one trajectory for biden, and that's downward. look, we've become much more polarised and in a hyper polarised political culture, there's a ceiling on how high a president can rise in approval ratings. you know, as for the gubernatorial election in virginia, the election was largely determined by local concerns about education rather than national concerns. it appears to me that the central issue in that race was education, whether it be the school closings during covid—i9 or the teaching of critical race theory. those were concerns specific to virginia and less about what's going on in washington,

they knew each other when joe biden was the vice president to barack obama. xi jinping was coming up in the ranks of the communist party before he became the chairman and president in 2012. they do have past history, but they also have the past nine years or so of acrimony between china and the united states, exacerbated some would say by the trump administration's trade war, tariffs, and rhetoric against china. we're hearing from white house sources that biden is expected to, in this several hour long virtual summit, which now should be starting its second half after a 15 minute break. expected to press xi on a number of issues. taiwan front and center, but also human rights, south china sea, trade issues. industrial policy terms of subsidies to industrial giants in china that biden would like to see clarity on. officials telling bloomberg that trade officials will not dominate the conversation. there will be discussion on those tariffs and the implementation of the trump era preliminary phase one trade deal. yvonne: david, you have been writing about how tr

the whole debate around obamacare, one thing joe biden learned from barack obama's if you have to pass something you have to sell people on it. one of the regrets obama had was he did not spend enough time on the salesmanship. i would be prepared for more of that as we could have a potential vote on the social spending bill next week. lisa: it makes it harder when there is so much noise. there is so much noise in washington. jon led the show talking about the fed chair nomination, which others said should happen earlier. how noisy is it in d.c.? has focused moved on from infrastructure spending to fed chair nomination? joe: that is true. you could argue tension was away from the fed because of this debate over infrastructure and reconciliation. i would point people to the position of vice chair supervision. it is entirely believable that president biden interviewed brainard for the top job, but the fact that that announcement happened yesterday gives the president a potential opportunity to elevate brainard to a position of enforcement, make the progressives like senator warren happy w

obama, states and cities were very slow to get their projects going, so it did not have as much of an impact. probably the bottom line is both will be relatively neutral in this situation for inflation, but there's a lot of other factors that people have been talking about that the president has to pay attention to. you notice in the president's statement today, he welcomes powell's views on inflation and maximum employment, putting inflation first. i thing that is going to be the emphasis from this administration going forward. guy: it is going to be interesting to see exactly how he articulates that and how the message shifts as a result. thank you very much, indeed. bloomberg's annmarie hordern and ira jersey on the market set up right now. a little shift higher in yields. we will continue our coverage of jay powell's renomination on bloomberg television. nobel laureate paul krugman, laura tyson, rafael bostick all on deck as we work our way through the day. 1:20 is when we are going to hear from the president, the chair, and the vice chair. what are we going to talk about next? we

president barack obama speaking in just a few hours? >> rosemary, barack obama's appearance will be a reminder to the world, to each country, precisely what they promised to work towards when they signed the paris agreement in 2015. that is, to cut emissions deeply enough to ensure that average-global temperature increase doesn't go beyond 1.5 celsius by the end of the century. and crucially, at this halfway point into this conference, the needle hasn't moved enough. the commitments are still desperately insufficient in terms of that ultimate goal. so, at this halfway point as the conference begins its final stretch towards the deadline at the end of the week, it's not just about identifying gaps, but specifically which gaps can potentially be closed in the remaining days? because there are still many, and they are still wide. and i think there is no doubt that emissions cuts remains the most important issue because, as i say, countries simply have not committed to do enough in order to keep the goal on track. and not just in the long-t

what did president barack obama have to said, what was his message in. >> so, it was an urgent message, kate, but i should mention that right now we're outside of yet another event with former president obama right now as we speak. he's speaking to young activists. earlier today, when you look at his arrival here at cop26 it's no coincidence that he arrived when he did. this week is filled with crucial critical intense climate negotiations among the nations here, and this is really seen as an all hands on deck type of approach bringing in the former president here really to repair the u.s.' credibility when it comes to climate change following four years of donald trump. now president obama focused a lot on the politics of climate change and urged people not just in the u.s. but worldwide to get past that and really get on board with aggressive climate action. take a listen. >> we need advanced economies like the u.s. and europe leading on this issue, but you know the facts. we also need china and india leading on this issue. we need russia leading on this issue, just as we need indone

the former president, barack obama, appeared at the u.n. climate conference in scotland. >> now, back in the united states, of course, some of our progress stalled when my successor decided to unilaterally pull out of the paris agreement in his first year in office. i wasn't real happy about that. so, despite four years of active hostility toward climate science coming from the very top of our federal government, the american people managed to still meet our original commitment under the paris agreement. and now, with president biden and his administration rejoining the agreement, the u.s. government is, once again, engaged and prepared to take a leadership role. >> all right. let's discuss with cnn senior political commentator, david axelrod. a former-obama senior adviser. david, thanks for joining us. how rare is it to see former-president barack obama on the world stage like this going after former-president trump and bolstering president biden's climate agenda? >> well, it is rare, wolf, and the president -- president obama made clear w

in 2009, barack obama voted not to invoke executive privilege from george w. bush. it has been the current guy, the current guy. joe biden has been making that same argument in court. one thing so important to remember, however, even if donald trump can somehow invoke executive privilege, that is not going to be the end of it. they will have to do a balancing act like they did in the richard nixon case. what is the need for the documents to come out and how important is it they remain secret. . >> even if he's not successful, it takes time. which may be the point here. walk us through what is next and how long in total this could take >> yeah. we're in front of the district court now. now, the judge has an interesting history here. she has gotten several of the january 6th cases relating to the criminal cases against rioters. and she's made interesting statements about the way she views what happened on january 6th. she said in one case, quote, a violent mob seeking to overthrow the lawfully elected deposit and a very real danger to our democracy. that shows judge c

but throughout the process, we were focused on one thing, and that was barack obama's polling numbers. his magic number for us was 46. we felt if he was at or below that, we'd take back the house, and ultimately right before the elections he was at 45 and we had a big election night. it's easy to focus on all the other things. think of how many conversations we've had on critical race theory in the past month or so. it all comes down to what the president's approval rating is, whether he's going to lift votes or sink votes, and democrats are either going to sink or swim based on what joe biden's approval ratings are. >> staying in virginia and focusing on the lesson there, one thing glen youngkin, the republican, now governor-elect, also did is keep donald trump at an arm's distance. maggie haberman is reporting that trump delivered a clear message at a republican congressional campaign dinner last night saying that youngkin would have lost without his support, saying that maga support is the only way to win. with that in mind, i want to play for you what a youngkin campaign adviser s

but if you look at the numbers now of how midterm elections work, on this day in 2009, barack obama was 53%. at 53% he still lost virginia and he still lost new jersey. earlier in the year he was at 42% and he lost the house of representatives. he is where obama was on midterm election day in 2009. he needs to turn that around or the democrats are looking at a trap door. >> something he has never been is toxic. there is not very many he wants to campaign with, but if that's the same, there will be democrats who want him in their district. joe biden went everywhere and president obama didn't travel around a lot. it's a referendum on you. so inside the white house right now, we may hear from the president later today, we may not. i'm told they're still deciding that, but he needs to try to corral this very divided party. it's not his fault, the blame goes all the way to pennsylvania avenue, but he is the party that owns it. >> it is so incredibly hard to turn those numbers around once they start cratering. we've seen that with every president. >> trapped in a narrow box to begin with. >>

so during the barack obama presidency for example, the country actually went from demographically speaking being a majority white christian country, 54% white and christian in 2008 to being one that is no longer a majority white christian country. it's 44% white and christian today and that reality setting in has led to an i dentity criss where abcesent legal methods to rollback the clock, there is an anti democratic reach for other means when democratic processes have failed. >> there is something i read about called the last gasp of white supremacy and what you're talking about and i believe that to be so and the desperation as you call it. let put up robert's book again. robert p. jones, thank you very much. appreciate that. his book -- make sure we get it in there. it's called "white too long." the legacy of whit sup preliminary see and american christianity. thank you, sir. fascinating what you've found. >> thanks so much. >> you, too. >>> president biden apologizing on the world stage for take this, something the former president did. try vicks vapocool drops. in honey lemon chill. f

obama or george bush or joe biden or donald trump. it happens to be true that in making the determination, the sitting president can take into account the claims and arguments of a prior president. that's just prudential. but the sitting president is the one who basically decides. and it's not to say that there is not some decent claim that could be made in some future claim by a former president. maybe president biden, if he is a former president will make some claim of privilege going forward and a future president will take account of that. that didn't happen here, and that's what decides the matter for the purposes of the this case. >> yeah, it's perfect. it belongs to the office and not the individual. again, she says privilege exists for the benefit of the republic, and it is not tied to any one individual. the president is now just an individual. he is not the former president. he is not the president of the united states. here is my question. because he is appealing this, the former president, what are the chances that he i th

democrats lost seats in the house the year after barack obama passed the affordable care act in 2009. what the president needs for his short term political interest is an improvement in the conditions americans are worried about, primarily covid and inflation. but this does lay down some important achievements that probably will be unfolding in a way that will be useful for him if he's running for re-election in 2024. >> what's likely to happen next with joe biden's build back better proposal? how are its prospects looking, and when will americans find out how it actually impacts their lives because at the moment when they're being polled, they don't see that it's going to make their lives any better. >> exactly. you know, the democrats are in a situation very similar to the problem they faced in 2009 and 2010 when they were kind of caught in the legislative vietnam of trying to pass the affordable care act, which ultimately became very popular, but at the time, americans did not see it directly connected to their concerns about the recovery from the financial crash of 2008. i think t

it's not that long ago in the history of the states after barack obama had the big win in 2008, chris christie in 2009 in new jersey, made their mark. but, what you are looking at here and to the point earlier, you are just hearing, on at least i'm hearing from local folks in monmouth county that even at the township level will, some town council seats like seem to be going republican in sweeping fashion. so you are seeing something that's happening at the local level that you are also seeing narrowed at this gubernatorial level. you are right, john, to say murphy must be wondering how much of this is me and how much of it is out of my control? if you looked in the recent preelection polls, phil murphy's approval rating was far out performing joe biden's approval rating. joe biden was underwater in new jersey, but phil murphy was a brand of his own. that's what they thought going in to this election night. well, it doesn't look like democrats have individual brands right now the way that the vote totals are coming in. so, if indeed, and i know there's more vote to come. john, you said

her brother-in-law was a high-ranking official in the justice department in barack obama's second term. so these are people who she knows, knows what they're talking by but we sort of got used to it in the trump days of family members being involved. but to have family members having any kind of a role other than a spouse is an unusual thing. >> okay, all right, isaac, thank you very much. appreciate the reporting. i want to bring in cnn's senior political analyst and host of "firing line" margaret hoover. margaret, is all of this finger-pointing to be expected, considering the shaky poll numbers for the white house right now? >> i think that's one way to see it. the other way to see it is this john adams. he had that famous quote about the vice presidency where he said it was the most insignificant office that ever the invention of man contrived or his imagination conceived. the vice presidency is for a go-getter, somebody who's eager to jump into the fray and for somebody who is new to washington, which is unusual for kamala harris. i went back and looked at this, with the least amou

. >>> my next guest predicted this senate setback teamed up with joel bennenson a poster for barack obama, together they did a research project that warned democrats they are misjudging which issues voters care most about, especially independent voters. just before the election, they found the issues that independents care most about, the economy, inflation, jobs, immigration, and border security, and covid-19, the pandemic recovery and they warned that the number of independents who said the country was headed in the wrong direction was 70%. what does this mean for democrats in next year's midterms, neil newhouse joins me now, the cofounder of the republican polling firm, republican opinion strategies. welcome back. james carville said certain among us, they need detox from wokeness, one narrative that's come out of virginia is that this was all explained as a rejection of wokeness. is it that simple? >> no, it's never that simple. this is -- it's a typical kind of midterm election where voters respond to the party in power. i think the message they sent. joe manchin was right about the

bush to barack obama to donald trump to biden. this is a country that is all over the place. what does this country want? it is very divide, and i think you see that in virginia where you see backlack, right? this was a state that just went ten points for biden and now they are like, you know, they are bad what's happening in the schools. they are mad that their lives haven't changed and you see this opposition, and you see enthusiasm for youngkin. >> you also see, lastly, a republican candidate who has somehow managed. >> 100%. >> somehow managed to hold trump at arm's length. do not come to virginia. i do not want you here and yet trump has repeatedly told him he's a nice guy and repeatedly told trump voters to go out and vote for him. i can't remember someone who has pushed him away and still gives him a hug. >> the big question for reap dance is this a road map that other republicans can snol two big differences, glenn youngkin is worth $440 million. he can self-fund if donald trump wants to block and back an opponent and virginia is different than many other states. very

remember, barack obama was the first democrat to win virginia in 2008 since lbj. and since then, democrats have been on a serious winning streak. but youngkin keeping the distance from donald trump, biden being under water in the state, they have eroded in some places and youngkin was able to say look, i'm a businessman, i'm not a professional idealogue like some of these, and it's a big momentum shift. >> i'm going to walk over here and talk to these folks. so you heard what john avolon had to say about this. bakari, how much of this is terry mcauliffe's own fault, that he ran a bad campaign? >> as someone who has run a statewide race, i can tell you that hindsight is always 20/20. >> we're not just saying that now, though. people have been saying -- >> in a nationalized race and nationalized environment, you can't escape the drag that washington democrats have been on terry mcauliffe. and yes, i'm beating on them, and rightfully so. you can talk about the american recovery act and shots in arms, talk about the things that joe biden has done with the courts. all

obama would have loved, george w. bush would have loved, even bill clinton would have loved, a giant piece of infrastructure spending that will change people's lives. >> this is a monumental piece of legislation. this has gotten lost a bit in the conversation. democrats have been focusing on the other plan they want to get through congress but for president biden for democrats wrilt large is how they are going to sell this will to the american people. they did that with the american rescue plan. you don't see a direct connection between the american rescue plan in the spring and how voters feel about democrats and the challenge for biden and democrats across the board in congress is can they effectively sell this piece of legislation to voters ahead of the mid terms? >> the president has to know, his team has to know that this won't change right away. our cnn poll of polls, a handful of the most recent polls. the president's approval rating at 45%. 52% is his disapproval rating. you're not going to change that overnig
