    Obama appears to be trying to dismantle the idea that Trump has been uniquely adept at creating jobs.

    "Just let's remember when this recovery started," says Obama of economic gains. "Suddenly Republicans are saying it's a miracle," he says, citing current job numbers are the same as when he was still in office in 2015 and 2016. "Anyway, I digress," he concedes.

    Key question: What does he want the Department of Justice to investigate? Some dude anonymously criticized him. That’s completely legal.

    Quite a split-screen moment here --> Obama talking about American democracy on edge just as Trump tells reporters aboard AF1 that he wants DOJ to investigate anonymous op-ed.

    It actually turns out there were not signs of an upset!

    Though the race had signs of an upset, Sen. Tom Carper (blue) beat Kerri Harris (gold) by about 30% in the (D) primary. Carper only lost about a dozen of the 353 precincts, and was in the 60's most everywhere. He should cruise to reelection in November.
