Cabot Phillips

Daily Wire senior editor Cabot Phillips is here with the fallout from the address and a look ahead to November.

Hey, Cabot.

So both parties trying to spend Trump's big night in their favor.

Let's start with Republicans.

What are we hearing from them?

Yeah, after 36 hours, reviews are starting to pour in, and the White House, they're very happy with how this address fared for them.

A CNN poll, for example, found that roughly two-thirds of those who viewed the event said it went favorably, while just 38% had a negative reaction.

Now, those numbers can be skewed a bit because supporters of the president tend to more overwhelmingly watch, but here's the nugget that the White House is most excited about.

Before the speech, this poll showed that 54% of viewers felt Trump's policies would take the country in the right direction.

Afterwards, that number jumped to 64%.

We saw a similar 10-point increase on the question of whether Trump had the right priorities.

There, he went from 44% to 54%.

The White House obviously is happy to take those numbers.

Before the address, the administration was trying to paint the left as being crazy and off the rails, and they feel that last night's actions and the subsequent fallout only further proved their point.

Yeah, let's get to that counter-programming that we mentioned yesterday from the left.

What did we see from Democrats?

Well, their main line of attack in the last 36 hours has been on the economy.

Democrats flooded the airwaves over the last 24 hours to hammer Trump's address, saying he didn't do enough to alleviate concerns about affordability.

Senate leader Chuck Schumer, for example, called it the, quote, "...state of delusion."

while House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries said the address was, quote, riddled with dirty, rotten lies, including Trump's unwillingness to confront the affordability crisis.
