"I'm concerned," co-host Sunny Hostin said. "When you look at these stats, it’s very clear that Biden is actually worse off now six months from the election than [Barack] Obama was and when Bill Clinton was."

As per Mediaite, the panel's discussion about the upcoming 2024 election also saw Alyssa Farah Griffin, a former Trump White House Director of Strategic Communications, criticizing the Biden campaign for downplaying concerns about the economy and inflation.

“He did an interview with Erin Burnett and he said, ‘Actually, you’re better off than you think you are.’ That’s a bad message when people’s grocery prices are up by 30%,” said Griffin, highlighting the recent interview on CNN

“You’re saying, ‘Believe me rather than what your bank account is telling you.’ He’s got six months to come up with an inspiring, forward-looking message and get out there and talk about it," she added. 

Moving on, Griffin emphasized the necessity for her peers in the media to connect with Trump supporters and discuss the potential implications of a second Trump term, highlighting its potential dangers.

She suggested, "I think that’s how we need to be using our voices and the campaign, the Biden campaign just has to get more active."

“I’m concerned like Alyssa is,” replied Hostin.

She added, "You know, when you look at these stats, it’s very clear that Biden is actually worse off now six months from the election than Obama was and when Bill Clinton was. They had disapproval ratings that were pretty high, but his are even lower, right? So that concerns me.”

Hostin concluded, saying, “I also agree it’s up to the American people, it’s not up to the polls, and we are six months away.”
