One-hundred-and-forty-seven Republicans voted to not certify the electoral college results, and more than a year later, not a single one of them can identify who allegedly stole the election nor explain how it was done. That\u2019s because the election was not stolen. Donald Trump got crushed in a popular vote. He lost the electoral college. and what we see are Republican legislators trying to nullify the vote instead of adhering to our democracy.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"D-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"gmxrevmore\" class=\"H\"><\/figure>\n<p>Guest anchor Kristen Welker said, \u201cWell when you look at history, the only time a president\u2019s party has not lost seats in the House is when his approval rating has been above 60%. At this point in time, and we\u2019re still very early in 2022, President Biden\u2019s approval rating is hovering in the mid-to-low 40s. So how concerned are you about that, and how do you turn it around?\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B2\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<p>Lieu said, \u201cI would be concerned if we were in October right now, but we\u2019re not. We\u2019re at the beginning of a year, and if you look at what the Biden administration has done, it\u2019s remarkable. We created over 5 million jobs since January 20. Jobless claims are at a 50-year low. There was an infrastructure bill passed and the American Rescue Plan. There was a lot to run on this coming November.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>Follow Pam Key on Twitter <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/pamkeyNEN\">@pamkeyNEN<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Representative\u00a0Ted Lieu (D-CA) said Monday on MSNBC\u2019s \u201cMTP Daily\u201d that in the 2022 midterm elections, \u201cdemocracy itself\u201d was on the ballot.
