Institutional Investor (September 5)
“Hard landing? Soft landing? No recession after all? As economic news that’s far rosier than most analysts expected to see this summer keeps coming in, a growing number of pundits are now openly wondering if the ‘severe downturn’ long predicted to strike by late 2023 may turn out to be milder (and later in coming) than even the cheeriest of them had recently envisioned.”

The Week (November 9)
“Republicans were expecting a ‘red wave’ on Election Day, with the typical gains for the out-of-power party turbo-charged by high inflation and economic malaise. That wave did not materialize, and ‘many pundits and journalists across the spectrum pointed their fingers at former President [Donald] Trump.’”

Wall Street Journal (October 10)
“The past week was bizarre, berserk, almost biblical.” People are thirsty for normal. “There’s a lot of Trump fatigue, and it’s peaking at the wrong time for the president.” Increasingly pundits “are wondering if Nov. 3 won’t be a win for Joe Biden but a blowout, a landslide in a polarized country that doesn’t produce landslides anymore.” If Biden does win big, “part of the reason, maybe a big part, will be simply that he is normal.”
