The presidential election is now less than six months away, and things keep looking worse for Biden:

Add it all up and it's an "all hands on deck" emergency for the Democrats. That includes much of the media, especially the Associated Press, which can't carry enough water for the Left.
Here's the AP's headline about "relief" Americans saw this month when it comes to mortgage rates:
Long-term mortgage rates retreat for second straight week, US average at 7.02% https://t.co/xr47JEJO0a
— The Associated Press (@AP) May 17, 2024
"Mortgage rates retreat for a second straight week."
The rates "retreated" from what, you ask?

"giving some relief"

To paraphrase Bill Clinton, it depends on what your definition of "relief" is:
The average rate on a 30-year mortgage in the U.S. fell for the second straight week, giving some relief to home shoppers already facing sky-high prices and a shortage of supply.
The average 30-year rate fell to 7.02% from 7.09% last week, mortgage buyer Freddie Mac said Thursday. A year ago, the rate averaged 6.39%.
The recent pullbacks followed a five-week string of increases that pushed the average rate to its highest level since November 30. Higher mortgage rates can add hundreds of dollars a month in costs for borrowers, limiting homebuyers’ purchasing options.
The average 30-year rate "fell," "retreated," had a "pullback" and provided "relief" by going from 7.09 percent to 7.02 percent.

Imagine how desperate the AP spin will be when the election is only about a month away.
