  In this week's episode of Political Contessa, Jennifer dives into the topic of political gaslighting, drawing from her recent op-ed that addresses the growing mistrust between American families and politicians. She dissects an instance involving Rep. Hakeem Jeffries, Minority Leader and Democrat from New York, who dismissed a poll suggesting Americans felt the economy was better under former President Trump's administration than the current one. Jennifer highlights the importance of recognizing and respecting the real concerns and feelings of American voters. Jennifer Nassour is a passionate commentator dedicated to shedding light on political realities and advocating for honest discourse between politicians and voters. As a single mother, she brings a unique perspective to the table, focusing on how political decisions impact everyday American families. With a knack for exposing truth and demanding accountability, Jennifer continuously strives to bridge the disconnect between Washington and the people it serves. "Democrats can tell me until they're blue in the face that the economy is outperforming expectations, but if I have to put off a vacation with my kids because my paycheck isn't going as far as it used to, that's a feeling that those numbers can't change." ~Jennifer Nassour Today on Political Contessa: Mistrust in politicians is growing due to perceived dishonesty and gaslighting. Political discourse often ignores or dismisses the genuine concerns of American families. A significant portion of Americans felt the economy was better under the Trump administration than the current Biden administration. Inflation has significantly increased since the COVID-19 pandemic, deeply affecting household finances. American families are more reliable indicators of economic performance than economic experts in Washington. Politicians' salaries, often funded by taxpayer dollars, further distance them from the everyday struggles of average Americans. The dismissive attitude of some political leaders is a primary reason for the ongoing fascination with Trump. Authenticity and genuine listening are crucial for politicians to reconnect with and truly represent their constituents.   Awaken Your Inner Political Contessa   Thanks for tuning into this week's episode of Political Contessa.

I want someone who rises above that, who's the adult in the room, who says, hey, listen, everyone sit down, go to your own corners, let's discuss this, instead of being rambunctious little kids." ~Jennifer Nassour     This Week on Political Contessa:   DeSantis put himself in a debate with Newsom, even though he had more to lose than Newsom. DeSantis performed well in the debate and gained attention and publicity. There is speculation that Biden may be replaced by Newsome at the convention, with Obama endorsing the decision. DeSantis' debate performances have been declining, while Nikki Haley's popularity has been increasing. There was a disagreement about DeSantis' decision to pass a six-week abortion ban in Florida, as well as changes to certain laws. DeSantis was praised for his handling of COVID-19 in Florida, particularly in reopening the state quickly. Nikki Haley's comments about welcoming Disney to South Carolina were seen as a misstep in the culture war. The discussion touched on the importance of fiscal responsibility and the need for a leader who can rise above divisiveness and be the adult in the room.   Awaken Your Inner Political Contessa   Thanks for tuning into this week's episode of Political Contessa.

House Republicans have been digging into the Biden family's allegedly questionable business dealings for months, and they're now taking things a step further — working towards authorizing a formal impeachment inquiry into the President to strengthen House Republicans' legal standing in court while their investigation continues. Meanwhile, George Santos became the sixth member of the House to be expelled in Congressional history, making the GOP's already slim majority in the House even smaller — leading to some concerns that Republicans in the House may have even more trouble passing their agenda. On the Rundown, House Majority Whip Tom Emmer (R-MN) explains why opening an impeachment inquiry into the President is both reasonable and necessary based on the evidence revealed, and why many Republicans, including himself, voted against Santos' expulsion. He also adds why he believes House Republicans still have the power to band together and get the job done despite losing a number in their majority. With just over a month left before the Iowa caucus, former United States Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley has found herself neck-and-neck with Florida Governor Ron DeSantis (R-FL). As her candidacy grows stronger, big-name donors are taking an interest. The Americans For Prosperity PAC, backed by billionaire Charles Koch, officially endorsed Haley's campaign last week. The Northeast Regional Director of Women for Nikki, Jennifer Nassour, joins the podcast to discuss Haley's recent strong polling and what her latest endorsement means for the Haley campaign. Plus, commentary from New York Post columnist and co-author of "The Canceling of the American Mind," Rikki Schlott. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

    With the previous administration came an extraordinary level of personal abuse against the president. Now, the current president faces a subdued level of the same thing. What the personal attackers of both presidents miss is that an elected official's ability to do their job has nothing to do with their personality. Isn't it time we started focusing on the policy?   Today, I talk about why politicians should be voted for based on their policy, rather than on how much we like them personally. I note that rhetoric doesn't replace policy, and neither does personality. I discuss how, despite what you thought about Trump as a person, the policy of his administration was largely productive and good for America.   “Shouldn't we be voting for people based on policy and not person?” - Jennifer Nassour   This Week on Political Contessa:   Putting the policy back in politics Why a candidate's personality shouldn't affect your voting decision Why rhetoric should take a back seat   Don't Forget to Pick Up My Quick Guide!   If you've ever considered running, or you know a woman who should, I've got something just for you: my quick guide called Secrets from the Campaign Trail.
