same question i asked chris coons. do they see it as a rough patch he's going through or something more troubling than that? >> yeah, chris, i think biden is now finally standing on his own record with trump out of the way. voters come independents in particular, are making a more clear judgment. the white house has publicly said that there is a lot of time here for biden's domestic agenda to get done, but i think privately if you talk to lawmakers on capitol hill. is concerned that the clock is ticking and a number of very consequential things have all stocked up on top of each other. from getting comprehended getting comprehended immigration reform done, to these two solid infrastructure bills, to voting rights, which has largely dropped out of the picture because of all of the drama on capitol hill in recent weeks over the debt limit and these two infrastructure bills. biden's numbers with independents have dropped by 19-point since he was elected, they drop happening over the summer. that is why i think you see so

same question i asked chris coons. do they see it as just a rough patches going through or is it something more troubling than that. >> i think with trump out tougf the picture, biden is standing on his own record. the white house publicly said there's a lot of time here for biden's domestic agenda to get done but i think privately if you talk to lawmakers on capitol hill there is concern that the clock is ticking and a number of very consequential things have stacked up on top of each other, from getting expensive immigration rerecall -- comprehensive immigration reform done, to the stalled infrastructure bill and the voting rights which has dropped out of the picture because of the drama in capitol hill in recent weeks, over the debt limit and the stalled infrastructure bills. biden's numbers with independents have dropped by 19 points since he was elected, a big drop of that happening over the summer. that's why i think you see so many democrats actually this silent majority really, at least on the house side, who a

senator chris coons, whom i will speak to in just a moment was in the room at the time. this very public back and forthcoming at a particularly tough time for the president. the only president to have a lower approval rating than biden at this point in a presidency is actually donald j. trump and by the way, this includes every single president since gallup started keeping records which takes you all the way back to dwight eisenhower. phil mattingly is outfront at the white house. and it's what's in the bill and what's out and a heck of a lot has come out and how they are going to pay for what is still going to be in if they agree on what's in, all up in the air. so you could get a framework but it might be pretty meaningless. what is the white house thinking about whether they get anything done before the president goes on his trip? >> erin, other a than those things you listed, everything is going wonderfully. the reality is, one, they are very clear eyed about the stakes of this moment and i think that's been a driving force behind the president's decision to very cle

let's take a listen to senator chris coons and what he has said about the negotiations. >> i think the ultimate price will be around $2 trillion but it is the policy that is matter and cause a caucus we agree on those. i'm optimistic to get both bills to president biden's desk by the end of this month, hopefully possibly by the end of the year. >> so how does that align, that plan, the price tag, 2 trillion, the time line align with how you're seeing things play out? >> you may be right about the number but he is absolutely right about the point that it is about the policy included. it is about reducing the cost of health care, supporting families with the child tax credit. earned income tax credit. it is about addressing climate change. if we can do those three things in a meaningful way and then by doing so put ourselves as democrats in a position of holding the majority and then building from that on those three essential elements then i think we will have succeeded so it is less about the number though the number is significant. it has to be meaningful and more about what those ele

it's clear chris coons said they backed this plan but it was not good enough for progressives on that front. for people who say we didn't like when speaker pelosi said we need to pass the bill before we know what's in it. it seems like it's the same process again. >> the process in the congress is broken. i say that objectively. we have got 1600 pages of text just a few hours ago. this happens regularly. huge packages. and the institution is not well designed to operate in the way that our founders really intended. that's not a partisan perspective. i think that's a universally accepted perspective and we have got to do better. these packages, it's not unique to one side of the aisle or another. pros pro-says has to. problem solvers do this better i don't think constituents are being well served and certainly the country. >> i know you want to vote yes on the infrastructure bill. where are you on the reconciliation bill. >> first of all, i have to see exactly what's in it. and i like a lot of it, bret. i think child care is important. pre-k education terribly important. cohorts studie

close biden ally senator chris coons has spoken out saying he as the chair of the panel that controls the allocation of foreign assistance has no intention of giving u.s. assistance to any government in sudan that doesn't contain a civilian component. what's interesting is how quickly biden and his allies are responding, given that in other coups such as that mali or even in tunisia, we haven't seen that response, and that speaks to how important the whole calculus is in the horn of africa where sudan is at the moment. the instability in ethiopia, in somalia, concerns about the coming kenyan elections. this really is incredibly worrying within that context. and within the context that people almost three years ago would genuinely excited about what seems like this incredible story of pro-democracy protesters actually winning against a dictatorship, alisyn. >> and demonstrators say they'll stay on the streets until the civilian leaders are brought back. last time they stayed out there for months. what's the sense of how long this could last? >> the sense really is that with the comment
