The government reporting that the nation’s economy had grown at an unexpectedly fast pace in the first quarter of the year.

“We don’t really have a robust national message on the economy, said Celinda Lake, a leading Democratic strategist and pollster.
“We will tend to talk about things like paid leave and equal pay — and those things are all very popular policies. But they don’t add up to an economic message that is robust enough to win the presidency ”
That’s a recipe for disaster in 2020.”
