"Republicans on Capitol Hill would likely have been up in arms"

Baier reviewed the speech for viewers and said, “The president wrapping up what turned out to be a long list of differences with Biden. What the president called a list of Democrat agenda items. He spoke for 52 mites before taking a question.”

“Presidents in the past by tradition have stayed away from overt campaign rhetoric from the Rose Garden or the White House, but it is the president’s discretion,” Baier continued.

But he added, “It is worth nothing, however, to be fair, that had President Obama made this kind of speech from the Rose Garden, Republicans on Capitol Hill would likely have been up in arms.”
