Love the Daily, but Mr. Barbara you really really need to allow the individual you are interviewing to speak, not put words in their mouth and not interrupt. I could hardly stand to listen to the Schumer interview because I wanted to hear from him, but you constantly interrupted. So frustrating. 🤦‍♀️
I’m going to be direct here. Chuck seems to be so proud of using the voice of the people as central to candidate platforms during this election cycle. Can someone please tell him congratulations for finally figuring out his job description? As a lifelong Democrat, I am extremely disappointed in him. I would prefer that someone else who is more in touch with the role of senator, and being a representative of the people, be the Senate Majority Leader.
So Good
