That meant CNN didn’t find a national recession and had to look for trouble on the state level.

“There are some states…where people are feeling all the elements of a recession already,” Velshi said. Earlier in October, Velshi told viewers “the bottom line is to most Americans, a recession is what it feels like to you.”
