Trump vs. Biden economy: What messaging are voters looking for?

Steve McMahon, Purple Strategies CEO, and Marc Short, former chief of staff to Vice President Mike Pence and former White House Director of Legislative Affairs for President Donald Trump, join 'Squawk Box' to discuss the state of the economy, which 2024 presidential candidate will be better for the economy, the issue of border security, and more.

Joe is too biased to be in these conversations

[johan]

Does he need to interrupt the guests all the time??

[shadowmanmc]

So with this guy, if he doesn’t like the answer, he starts to interrupt the people that’s a way to give an interview

[jlable]

Thank you Joe for pushing back. So rarely seen on CNBC.

[bwaters]

Joe is a republican. Nothing wrong with that. Andrew is a democrat. Nothing wrong with that. Gotta have your ying and yang

[corinagallegos]

Inflation is high food is high rent is high gas is high i vote Trump

[kevinhanych]

I think it's time for Joe to retire. His bias is obvious and for a "journalist", it is unacceptable. His head is so far up Trump's behind, I don't know how he can breathe!

[mikethespike]

Oh I get it two against one, You go Joe and stand firm ! MAGA

[targetpace]

Does Joe represent the views of CNBC? This conversation deteriorated very quickly

[Nate_K]

Andrew always comes off as more reasonable than Joe in these segments

[bogscab]

2 of the most excitable personalities in this network Joe and Rick Santelli. The power of shouting and talking over someone.

[corndogblue]

Joe needs to shut his mouth and opens his ears

[dalepellerin]

Are you better than you were 4 years ago? Hell yeah! Job offers galore, increased wages, stock market through the roof and home equity at record levels. For us, yes. For some not. Regardless of party in power, it's an economy going forward that has to be navigated. There's no more easy paths but then, we didn't found this country to be easy. 18 year olds are landing 6 figure jobs because of the technical skills they've built up without college debt and retirees are working part-time as consultants in tech earning hundreds of dollars per hour to help augment their retirement savings. Meanwhile, last year I had 143 job openings all paying 6 figures and willing to hire anywhere in North America and could hardly find anyone qualified. Keep interest rates where they are, let inflation keep coming down (already is) and let the extension of the digital transformation boom carry forward with AI which will also propel every company that hasn't digitized its infrastructure to rapidly do so, creating millions of more jobs. So let it be written, so let it be done!

[sergiomontesdeoca]

Joe pushing on inflation is good stuff

[nightknight]

Joe is in love with the sound of his own voice & the circus peanut from Cult-45.

[Dave-zlky]

And a rich old guy who lives off of golf clubs is going to help middle-class pricing? Neah.

[julioiglesias]

You can't fix stupid! The young guy should live in Cuba for only a month so that he understand what communism does to a country.

With a race between Biden and Trump likely, voters are concerned about the economy then its a no brainer for Joe Biden the economy is back under Joe, it went down under Trump and Trump never did anything to increase the economy, when he came into the white house, he inherited a great economy left by President Obama who also won the Nobel peace prize

[DarionSGBATESSoldierDaz]

Will President Biden be in the next jail block from Mr Trump, , and which will be the incumbent?

[jbrc]

So irritating when someone asks someone a question, and then talks over their response because they dont like it.
