The Inside Story-Midterm Elections 2022 TRANSCRIPT

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

54% : And the defense budgets are increasing so significantly in Europe that the increase in defense spending is outpacing what is available on the shelf.
48% : And then of course, CISA, the FBI, Department of Homeland Security and local election officials have been working with law enforcement, both on the federal level and on the state and local level, to make sure that the physical voting itself, whether it's at a dropbox or a polling place, whether it's concerns about threats against election workers, that that is being addressed adequately so that people can show up and run the elections and feel safe and that voters can go to the polls and feel safe.
42% : VOA White House correspondent Anita Powell explains how the politics of abortion plays this election year.
41% : Republicans generally want to see restricted access - or no access - to abortion.
39% : There's an expectation that Iran, especially depending from experts and some officials, depending on what's going on with the nuclear negotiations would seem to be stalled right now, how they may decide to ratchet up their activity here.
38% : But quite frankly, even if a state does allow abortion, I would like to think that sometime in the near future, abortion will be unthinkable, and women won't get the abortion even if they could.
28% : Biden's Democrats largely oppose the U.S. Supreme Court ruling in June that revoked the constitutional right to abortion and threw the decision to states.
22% : There's also concerned about Iran because Iran the last time around in the presidential election, much more actually hacked some voter databases and used that information to carry out an intimidation campaign.
