Everyone thinks Trump is going to win

Everyone thinks Trump is going to win: Lamenting the fact that President Joe Biden may lose the election, Democrat James Carville tells a fellow Democrat, podcaster Bill Kristol, that Biden “says ‘be happy with what ya got,’ Trump says ‘be happy with whatcha had,’ but what Biden needs to do is say ‘be happy wit whatcha gonna see!’”

Carville’s idea about what to offer voters who are leaving Biden for Trump — he names blacks and young people — is a $15 minimum wage.  It’s funny, because in most parts of the United States, especially urban population centers, many jobs — from cleaning houses and offices for outfits like Angi Services to working in pencil- or chicken-processing factories — have been paying over $15 an hour for years.  Only true gig work like DoorDash and Uber Eats might pay less, and the weakness of Bidenomics is that these part-time gigs are the main jobs being created.
