Robert Stein Pt. 2 | Midterm Results, 2023 Economic Predictions, and the 2024 Presidential Election
Bob is back!
Robert Stein, Deputy Chief Economist at First Trust Advisors, joins us again for our final episode of the year. With the midterms in the rear view and 2023 just around the corner, many people are wondering: What is the 2023 economy going to look like? What can we expect for the 2024 presidential election? Why are gas prices coming down? What can we expect with inflation and the housing market over the next two years?
In this episode of Off the Wall, hosts David Armstrong and Jessica Gibbs get Bob’s take on the 2022 midterm results and his predictions for a looming 2023 recession and the 2024 presidential election.
Bob shares his perspective on who will and will not run for president in 2024, how inflation and home prices will change in 2023, and what changes we can expect in government over the next two years.
“I think there’s going to be a lot of paralysis on Capitol Hill and spending time on investigations. I’m not pro or con, it’s just how they’re going to spend their time, looking into various things. There’s not going to be a lot of legislation on new territory, whether it’s green energy, whether it’s tech, whether it’s taxes, those bills will not get to the President’s desk.” – Bob Stein
