Kristen Welker tried to tell Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) that Biden was out of sync with voters and that Klobuchar was having none of it.
Transcript via Meet the Press:
Kristen Welker:
Senator, let me follow up with you a little bit here because you cite those data on the economy and yet the majority of Americans say they're not feeling it when it comes to the economy. They give President Biden low marks on the economy. The voters are not liking this. Why do you think that – you obviously ran against President Biden in 2020. He promised that, essentially, he would build a bridge to the next generation. Do you think it's time to pass the torch?

Sen. Amy Klobuchar:
Again, I have confidence in President Biden because I believe he is a good moral person who has the support of the people of this country. And in the examples I've cited, time and again people have sided with election deniers and the like. So, I am proud to endorse Joe Biden for president. As far as challenges are concerned, the challenges are real. And that's why, not only President Biden, but many of us in the Senate are leading the way in reducing costs. You don't have to just talk–
Welker then slammed Klobuchar because she was trying to divide Democrats and seemed to come from the ideology that fairness equals confronting Democrats with Republican talking points.

Your complete foundation of Welker's speak was Republican speaking factors and polls. Members of the media by no means ask themselves how the Democrats preserve successful elections if the polls are representing an correct view of the nation.
If the economic system is in such a foul form. How do Democrats preserve successful elections?
Klobuchar was not tolerating the mainstream media dialog on Biden. Democrats must do what Senator Klobuchar did. He rejected Welker's premise and reframed the query about what the election was more likely to be about, because the press's standard knowledge would doubtless be unsuitable in November.
