• Doug Heye, Republican Strategist:

  Well, it is a serious issue.

  I know you're going to talk to Robert Draper, who wrote "Weapons of Mass Delusion," about some of the things he's written on that. And a lot of the substance that Biden brought up, I think, can resonate with some voters, but it's not a top-tier issue for them.

  And so voters will tell you, what they care about, what their top concerns are. They're not shy with that. And, overwhelmingly, you — we see that it's the economy and specifically inflation.

  And so what Biden essentially did last night, regardless of the substance — and I actually thought he delivered the speech fairly well — is he basically said to voters, here's what should be important to you, when voters are saying, actually, what's important to us is inflation and getting that under control.

• Judy Woodruff:

  And to you, Joel Benenson, what is your sense of why this issue — yes, it may be motivating Democrats, but it isn't — apparently isn't with people in the middle, and not Republicans?

• Joel Benenson, Democratic Strategist:

  Well, look, I think that elections are always about people's values and their lives.

  And I think that's what Democrats have to do. I think we know that inflation is high. We also know that corporate profits are up higher than they have been in a decade. Hiring has been high. We hear a lot about supply chain shortages. Some of those numbers don't jibe when you think about it from the economic perspective.

  But, that being said, I think that, when you look at fundamental differences, I think what Democrats have to do is draw a contrast between the values in the people they stand up for. I would lean in on cutting taxes for the middle class and working Americans. A poll we just did shows that there is enormous support for that across Democrats, independents and Republicans, and for cutting taxes for small businesses.
