EXCERPT:
PSAKI: "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. But 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 just writing down data points, right? They vote and they move, they support people they feel something from. So, he needs to tell the story. I talked to some of Karine’s colleagues and some of my own about this, my former ones and her current ones -- sorry, that was confusing -- and what they have said is that he’s going to speak to the people who feel invisible, the people who don’t feel heard. That is so important. The other piece that is super important for him to do tonight is to draw a contrast. It is not a political speech, but he needs to draw a contrast, and I expect he will, between his agenda. Give him more time. 'I’m still working at it, guys.' And the chaos people see on the other side. Those are the two things tonight, storytelling and a little bit of contrast."
