Provost Emeritus and the Lawrence Herbert Distinguished Professor Herman A. Berliner was featured in a Newsday story about President Donald Trump’s economic messaging, which has shifted from promises to end inflation to warnings of “a little disturbance” amid lagging consumer confidence and a slumping stock market.



“This is a very popular president. He’s listened to by a lot of people in the country. If he says that the economy is going to go through some turbulence, people will believe that,” said Dr. Berliner. “He’s an enormously influential person in terms of both steering the economy and reassuring the country about the economy.”

Don’t Write Off Hochul Just Yet

Lawrence Levy, associate vice president and executive dean of the National Center for Suburban Studies, wrote an opinion piece for the Times Union: “Commentary: Don’t write off Hochul just yet.” He was also interviewed by Newsday about Lt. Gov. Antonio Delgado jumping into the governor’s race. Levy said Delgado has to be viewed as a “deep underdog.” His name recognition is low and Hochul already has $16 million in campaign funds, to Delgado’s $969,000. “Delgado has spent a lot of time traveling the state as lieutenant governor but I’m not sure what kind of network he built up,” Levy said.
