>> What can the president do to change the idea that he hasn’t done much? Because you look at this polling even the last couple day, and a majority of the country is saying, I don’t think he’s done much. We’re still on the wrong track. What should be the president’s objective tonight?

>> Two things. One, giving a speech that, even if it is 40 million people watch it, which is less than the super bowl, but still, that’s a huge number of people, it is a big opportunity for any president. It’s the biggest speech of the year any president gives. What he needs to do is tell a story. Joe Biden is an amazing storyteller. You sit in the Oval Office, Karine can tell you, and he can story tell for six hours. He needs to do that in the speech tonight. People aren’t sitting at home and writing down data points, right? They vote and they move, they support people they feel something from. He needs to tell the story. I talked to some of Karine’s colleagues. My former ones and her current ones. He said he’s going to speak to the people who feel invisible, the people who don’t feel heard.
