Biden tells DNC that they must deliver their economic message with 'confidence, clarity, conviction and repetition' to protect their majority in the midterms

In a speech to the Democratic National Committee on Thursday, US President Joe Biden provided party faithful with a playbook for preaching the Democrats' economic accomplishments to voters as the party faced down its most challenging campaign cycle in over a decade.

Some Democrats have worried that the president and his supporters were not adequately touting their economic policies in a way that resonated with voters, and that the lack of a concise economic message would harm candidates in November. Democrats are playing defense for the US House and Senate this year, as they currently hold a narrow majority in both chambers. But Republicans hope to capitalize on economic unease and pandemic exhaustion — not to mention a bevy of culture war issues — in order to sweep back into power this November.

Biden's DNC speech, held in a ballroom at the Washington Hilton in DC, addressed the party's need for a clear economic message head-on. He issued marching orders to the delegates, who had traveled from across the country for the meeting, saying the Democratic "agenda is addressing the biggest concerns here in American people's lives," and the party had a "message that resonates."

"Now we have do is sell it with confidence, clarity and conviction and repetition," Biden said.
