On Fox News Channel’s “Jesse Watters Prime Time” on Friday, former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) said President Joe Biden’s approach to Thursday’s State of the Union address is different from that of his party’s nominee. He claimed that this was the result of solidifying his position.
McCarthy said Biden was worried that Democrats would remove him from the race.
“Let’s bring in former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy,” host Jesse Watters said. “That was just a bad political edict.”
“Yes, but do you want to know why?” McCarthy replied. “I mean, remember, they wrote this speech, they practiced this speech, and what did they want to accomplish by it? He wasn’t speaking to the people; What he was actually doing was speaking to the party. This was more about the convention. I think he was worried that the Democrats would drop him as a candidate. That’s why he came out. He tried to show all Democrats that they have to be tougher. They have to be tougher, and all he did was look mean and angry. .”
“It’s not going to give him more votes, but he’s playing it real, worried that the Democrats are going to remove him from the election, worried about what’s going to happen in Chicago, and instead of governing the country.” “We are trying to solidify that,” he added. .
