Biden vs. the bad vibes economy

The latest GDP numbers out yesterday showed a slowdown in the US economy for the second quarter in a row, pushing a lot of pundits and some news outlets to declare that the US is in a recession. But Fed chair Jerome Powell, President Biden and many economists say that’s not the case. Plus: Kids in California can wake up a bit later for school this year…and other states are following suit. And: a new trend – edible utensils. Really. Guests: Axios' Neil Irwin, Hans Nichols and Jennifer Kingson.
