President Donald Trump delivered a live address to the nation from the White House in succinct fashion with a sharp focus on the economy on Wednesday night.

Playbook’s Jack Blanchard and White House reporter Megan Messerly assess whether the message will stick with voters ahead of this year’s midterms.
