Nancy Pelosi expressed confidence in the upcoming midterm elections Sunday, calling a Democratic victory “personally” important to the American people and their “kitchen table issues,” despite reports that Americans are struggling with the highest inflation in 40 years.

“Nothing less is at stake than our democracy. But very important in all that is what it means personally to the American people. To their kitchen table issues. Whether it’s what they pay for food, medicine, rent, children’s education, and the rest,” Pelosi explained to “This Week” host George Stephanopoulos.

“So our focus that unifies our Democrats – you talked about what may have divided them. What unifies us is the empathy that we have for America’s working families and the priority of meeting their needs. Lower cost, bigger paychecks, lower taxes, all paid for by making everyone pay their fair share with a great president.”
