Todd said that he wasn&#8217;t sure if the ad was really effective or if they were trying too hard to tie the two issues together.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Look, I think that Democrats, if the election is about who is the most extreme, as we saw, you know, Kevin McCarthy touch on there with Marjorie Taylor Greene, I\u2019ll say her name, sitting over his left side, then they&#8217;re going to win. If it is a referendum on the president, they will lose, and they know that,&#8221; Psaki said.<\/p>\n<p>She added that Democrats also know that they are vulnerable when it comes to crime. Psaki said Republicans were throwing a lot of money behind ads focusing on crime and Pennsylvania Senate candidate John Fetterman.<\/p>\n<div class=\"image-ct inline\">\n<div class=\"m\"><source media=\"(max-width: 767px)\" \/><source media=\"(min-width: 767px) and (max-width: 1023px)\" \/><source media=\"(min-width: 1024px) and (max-width: 1279px)\" \/><source media=\"(min-width: 1280px)\" \/><\/div>\n<div class=\"caption\">\n<p>\n      Former White House press secretary Jen Psaki sat down with NBC&#8217;s &#8220;Meet the Press&#8221; on Sunday, Sept. 25, 2022.<br \/>\n      <span class=\"copyright\">(Screenshot\/NBC\/MeetThePress)<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/politics\/political-experts-weigh-impact-messaging-party-priorities-ahead-midterm-elections\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>POLITICAL EXPERTS WEIGH IMPACT OF \u2018MESSAGING\u2019 AND PARTY PRIORITIES AHEAD OF MIDTERM ELECTIONS<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;That\u2019s where they see his vulnerability,&#8221; said Psaki, who stepped down as White House press secretary in May.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;So, yes, the economy is hanging over everything, but you have [to] look at state-by-state factors, and crime is a huge issue in the Pennsylvania race,&#8221; she said.<\/p>\n<p>Later in the episode, Todd asked Psaki about being in the White House and about how Biden and others purposefully did not say former President Donald Trump&#8217;s name.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;You don&#8217;t say their names, it&#8217;s like Beetlejuice, somehow it won&#8217;t show up if you don&#8217;t say their name.

Why?&#8221; Todd asked.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Psaki said that while she didn&#8217;t work for Biden&#8217;s campaign, Biden ran &#8220;aggressively&#8221; on the claim that Trump wasn&#8217;t fit for office. She added that there was a &#8220;strategic decision&#8221; made when he came into office and that was no longer &#8220;what the public wanted.&#8221;<\/p>\n<div class=\"image-ct inline\">\n<div class=\"m\"><source media=\"(max-width: 767px)\" \/><source media=\"(min-width: 767px) and (max-width: 1023px)\" \/><source media=\"(min-width: 1024px) and (max-width: 1279px)\" \/><source media=\"(min-width: 1280px)\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Biden-1-1.jpg\" alt=\"President Biden speaks about inflation and supply chain issues in Los Angeles.\" \/><\/div>\n<div class=\"caption\">\n<p>\n      President Biden speaks about inflation and supply chain issues in Los Angeles.<br \/>\n      <span class=\"copyright\">(AP Photo\/Damian Dovarganes)<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/politics\/vulnerable-house-democrats-refuse-say-whether-support-any-part-gops-commitment-america-agenda\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong><u>VULNERABLE HOUSE DEMOCRATS REFUSE TO SAY WHETHER THEY SUPPORT ANY PART OF GOP&#8217;S \u2018COMMITMENT TO AMERICA\u2019 AGENDA<\/u><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;But now it\u2019s election season again.
