(DCNF)—MSNBC’s Willie Geist confronted Democrat Massachusetts Rep. Katherine Clark Wednesday on why President Donald Trump is more popular than her own party.
Geist cited a survey conducted by ABC News and The Washington Post which found that 37% of Americans trust Trump to do a “better job handling the country’s problems,” while 30% trust Democrats. While Clark said on “Morning Joe” that Democrats are the ones “fighting” for the American people, Geist pointed out that the public does not seem to see it that way.
“In a Washington Post/ABC News poll, Donald Trump’s approval rating was at 37%, extraordinarily low about handling the country’s main problems. Democrats, though, [are] even farther down at 30%. How do you explain that number and what do Democrats need to do better [at]?” Geist asked.
“Listen, this is where we are. Donald Trump made a promise that on day one of his presidency, he was gonna reduce costs for Americans, whether that’s groceries or housing, or child care, transpiration [and] energy. He has done just the opposite and what Democrats are doing is we are standing strong in saying ‘come back and focus on the American people. Put them in the center of the work you are doing. Make sure that you are doing everything you can to fight for them.’ We’ll reach across the aisle when we can, but what we have been met with in the House GOP is absolute resistance. They are loyal to one person, and that is Donald Trump. And as we watch him and Elon Musk take a chainsaw to the services that the American people deserve and pay for, all in order to enrich those already have great wealth and power. This is where our work is centered.”
Geist then asked Clark to answer his question on why the American public trusts Trump over her party.
“With all that said and I’m understanding your opposition to Donald Trump and much of the public’s opposition to Donald Trump, my question was why do you believe Democrats are rating lower even than President Trump right now if everything you said is true?” Geist asked.
“Yeah, well you know, we are going to continue our focus. Listen, we lost an election. We’re very clear-eyed about that. And we know that we have to show the American people that we are in it for them. But that is where we are. That is the roots of the Democratic Party, and that is the work we’re going to do every single day,” Clark said.
The same poll found that 7 in 10 Americans believe Democrats are “out of touch,” while 6 in 10 said the same about Trump. The president received negative marks on his handling of the economy, immigration and U.S. relations with other countries.
Clark said that Trump “tattered” the U.S. economy, though the consumer price index (CPI) eased beyond economists’ exceptions by only increasing 2.4% in March. The Producer Price Index fell 0.4% in March, marking the first monthly decline since October 2023, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
Despite the decreasing prices, Trump has received negative polling on his handling of the economy mainly due to tariffs. A CBS/YouGov poll found that 48% of Americans believe Trump’s economic policies are making them financially “worse off,” while 19% say they are “better off.”
The poll also found that most Americans believe Trump is fulfilling his campaign promises and approve of his deportation programs.

Starting the Day With a Scripture-Inspired Roast Helps Center Your Thoughts on Eternal Truths Amid Temporal Pressures
The world can seem chaotic, especially right after we wake up. Many believers start their mornings reaching for something familiar — a hot cup of coffee — yet end up settling for mediocre brews that do little more than deliver a caffeine jolt. The daily grind of life, with its endless distractions, news cycles, and responsibilities, can leave even the most faithful feeling spiritually parched alongside their physical fatigue. What if your morning ritual could do more than wake you up? What if it could ground you in truth, nourish your body with exceptional quality, and quietly advance a kingdom purpose at the same time?
That’s the promise — and the reality — behind Promised Grounds Coffee. This Christian-founded company doesn’t just roast beans; it approaches every step as an act of worship and discipleship. By selecting only the top 10% of specialty-grade beans, ethically sourced from dedicated farmers in Central and South America, and small-batch roasting them with reverence in Austin, Texas, Promised Grounds delivers what many describe as the best coffee available — never burnt, never bland, but rich with origin stories and layered flavors that honor God’s creation.
From the vibrant Psalm 27 Roast (a light, bright medium option) to the bold yet peaceful 2 Timothy 1:7 Decaf, each bag carries a Scripture verse that turns your daily pour into a gentle reminder of faith. And through their Ounce Per Ounce Promise, every ounce of coffee you enjoy provides an equal ounce of clean water to families in need via partnership with Filter of Hope — literally brewing hope for body and soul, one cup at a time.
The challenge for today’s Christians runs deeper than finding a decent cup. In an age of convenience-driven consumerism, it’s easy to support companies that dilute values or remain silent on matters of faith. Many believers want their everyday choices — from what they drink to how they spend — to reflect discipleship rather than just convenience. Promised Grounds solves this by weaving Christian excellence into the entire process: beans nurtured with prayerful stewardship by farming families, roasted as an offering rather than a commodity, and packaged with Bible verses to encourage a mindset of gratitude and purpose from the first sip. Reviewers consistently praise the smooth, rich profiles — whether enjoyed black in a drip maker, iced on a warm day, or shared in fellowship — noting how the quality stands toe-to-toe with premium secular brands while delivering something far more meaningful.
This integration of faith and flavor addresses a real need in Christian households and ministries. Busy parents, church leaders, and remote workers alike report that starting the day with a Scripture-inspired roast helps center their thoughts on eternal truths amid temporal pressures. The coffee’s exceptional character — bright citrus notes in lighter roasts or deep chocolate undertones in bolder ones — comes from meticulous selection and careful roasting that respects the bean’s natural gifts rather than masking them. It’s the kind of coffee that elevates a simple quiet time, fuels productive workdays, or sparks meaningful conversations when shared at Bible studies or outreach events. And because it’s ethically sourced with integrity, every purchase supports sustainable livelihoods for farmers who treat their crops like family harvests.
For those leading churches or small groups, the impact multiplies. Promised Grounds offers bundles and options perfect for hospitality ministries, turning ordinary coffee service into an opportunity to point people toward the living water of Christ. Imagine greeting visitors with a warm cup whose very bag carries God’s Word — a subtle yet powerful witness that aligns with the Great Commission. The company’s Texas roots and commitment to “brewing hope” resonate especially with believers who value American enterprise paired with global compassion.
Of course, quality alone isn’t enough if the experience feels out of reach. Promised Grounds keeps it accessible with practical perks like free shipping on orders over $40, sample sets for discovering favorites, and thoughtful add-ons such as faith-themed mugs. Whether you prefer whole beans for fresh grinding, grounds for convenience, or even bulk options for larger households and ministries, the result is consistently superior coffee that makes discipleship feel integrated rather than added on.
As you consider how to align even the smallest habits with your walk with God, Promised Grounds Coffee stands out as a refreshing solution. It tackles the dual problems of subpar daily sustenance and disconnected consumption by offering a product that genuinely excels in taste while advancing a mission of clean water, farmer dignity, and scriptural encouragement. Believers who make the switch often describe it as more than a beverage upgrade — it becomes part of their rhythm of gratitude, a daily invitation to remember that every good gift comes from above.
If you’re ready to transform your mornings (and perhaps your church gatherings) with coffee that honors both exceptional craftsmanship and Christian values, I encourage you to explore what Promised Grounds has to offer. One sip at a time, you’ll be nourishing your body, refreshing your spirit, and participating in something far greater — all while enjoying what truly is among the best coffee available.
