A busy week in California, as state legislators debated the issue of sex trafficking, former President Trump further solidified his lead in the GOP primary, and Hollywood shuts down with actors joining writers on the picket lines for a historic dual strike.
Elex Michaelson and an esteemed group of journalists break down those topics and more, this week on "The Issue Is."
Also on the agenda: 2024. This, as President Biden sees his poll numbers remain underwater, amid calls from some to "step aside," and as President Trump solidifies his lead in state and national polls, over the rest of the GOP field. But with 16 months left until Americans cast their final ballot, does any of it matter just yet?
GOLDSMITH’S CENTRAL TAKE: "Crime really came roaring back as an issue this decade. It cost the Democratic Party probably 12 to 14 House seats in 2020. It cost the Democrats the House itself in the '22 cycle, especially in two big blue states, California and New York. There are about a dozen Biden districts that are now represented by Republican members of Congress, and that alone is more than double Kevin McCarthy's margin. So Democrats have got to go right at this issue.
