political and investigative reporter at "the new york times," and nbc political correspondent steve kornacki is at the big board. as you look at him getting in, where does he fit in in the big picture? >> i think he put it well. he's in a unique in between zone right now. you see he's going to become when he makes this announcement tonight, the 7th announced republican candidate. there's more waiting in the wings potentially as well. what that might reflect is the last couple of months. desantis has looked weak. other republicans saying maybe there's more of an opening to run against trump. i think that sets up the first sort of challenge test opportunity, however you want to frame it for desantis starting with this announcement. you're looking at the average of all the polls right now, like you say, he's fallen far behind donald trump. nobody else is outside the mid single digits. still right now as he enters, desantis's challenges, can he put a message out there, can he put a public face out there now that he's formally doing this, that moves him up and moves this closer into a clear, one-

steve kornacki is nervous seeing you at that big chart.ou whether you and people you talk to in financial markets are still convinced that 4% is too high for core inflation. the fed has this target of 2%. that's the way we lived in this long period of essentially no inflation. going down those 2 percentage points is going to take some pain. is everybody convinced it's necessary? >> that's a great question, david. first of all, the 2% number was kind of an arbitrary number that the fed picked some years ago, to try to anchor expectations. part of what can cause inflation is, in fact, people expecting inflation. so the fed really has been trying to anchor inflation at this 2% number. so the question is, is 2%, what's the magic of 2%? the answer is, there isn't any magic. could it be 3%? could it be 4%? sure, but the problem is that the fed has clung to this 2% for so long, and powell continues to cling to it, that for them to back off, people feel, would negatively affect people's expectations. you're also right in say, as most economists be
