Guests: Harry Litman, Catherine Christian, Ben LaBolt, Rep. Barbara LeeTonight: the first domino falls in Fulton County as Donald Trump's first co-defendant takes a plea deal.

Republicans spin a good yarn, but data doesn't lie, and since globalization began the contrast between Republican and Democratic performance on the economy has been incredibly stark. Look no further than Bidenomics vs. Reaganomics. While the Democrats continue to evolve to attempt to create an economy that works for all of us, Republicans keep doubling down on policies that only serve the rich. There's no reason Democrats should continue to lose the conversation around the economy when study after study shows that Democratic leadership equals growth, lower deficits, and the ability to adapt to a changing market, while Republican leadership equals recessions, higher deficits, and continued American decline. With that in mind, today we talk about the success of Bidenomics with White House Communications Director, Ben LaBolt. You want to understand where we really are with politics & the economy?
