Democrats and Republicans are hitting home key messages in the final push before Election Day. The economy, crime and abortion are major issues for voters. And President Biden continues to warn of threats facing democracy, something top of mind for Democratic voters in particular.
To weigh in on how the political messaging is resonating with voters. I'm joined by longtime Republican strategist and former Republican National Committee Communications Director Doug Heye, and Joel Benenson, a Democratic strategist who worked on Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton's presidential campaigns.
And we welcome both of you back to the "NewsHour." Thank you for being here.
Doug Heye, I'm going to start with you.
Let's look first at the issue President Biden raised last night in his speech before a Democratic audience. He spoke about the number of election deniers who are running for office this year. He said what they are doing is un-American, it presents chaos in this country in the future. It doesn't get much more serious than that. And yet it's not an issue resonating with Republicans. Why not?
