On Tuesday's broadcast of CNN's "AC360," CNN Senior Political Commentator and former Obama adviser David Axelrod stated that while democracy issues are important, "if you're sitting around the kitchen table talking about democracy and the future of democracy, it's [probably] because you don't have to worry about the cost of the food on your table." And President Joe Biden "seems more intent on defending his economic performance and getting credit for the good work that he has done in many ways and not really advocating for people in a tough economy because of the inflation."
