"Joe Biden was right, and I was wrong, and most people were."

The president's pollster, John Anzalone, joins Major this week to discuss the key takeaways from the 2022 midterm elections.

Looking ahead to 2024, Anzalone believes that if Biden runs, he'll beat former president Donald Trump "like a drum."
