House Speaker Nancy Pelosi advised Democratic candidates to focus on “kitchen table” issues and reducing inflation as her party heads into the final two weeks before the Nov. 8 midterm elections.

“The upcoming election will be decided at the kitchen table, as America’s families determine who they trust to fight for them in this challenging moment,” Pelosi said in a letter Saturday addressed to fellow lawmakers. “We must communicate a clear, convincing message on why families are experiencing higher prices.”
