Chris Wallace believes Joe Biden’s speech ‘blew a hole’ in Trump’s characterization of him
Presidential nominee and former Vice President Joe Biden closed out the Democratic National Convention with a powerful acceptance speech on Thursday. In fact, the speech even impressed the hosts and Fox News Democracy 2020 analysts like, Brit Hume, Bret Baier, and Chris Wallace.
Hume said, “It was a very good speech, I thought, delivered with force and clarity by him.” While earlier in the program, Baier said, “He is not known for his public speaking, but this, having seen him speak on the stump many, many times, was the best he has been as far as his delivery.”
While Hume believes the speech will impact Biden’s polling numbers in a positive way, Wallace pointed out that it may also undermine a popular talking point of President Trump.
“I thought it was enormously effective,” said Wallace. “Remember, Donald Trump has been talking for months about Joe Biden as mentally shot, a captive of the Left. And yes, Biden was reading from the teleprompter and a prepared speech but I thought that he blew a hole, a big hole in the characterization.”
It wasn't all praise though, as Hume felt Biden didn't address some important issues. "I would like to have heard him say something about the threat posed by China and what he hopes to do about that. I would like to have heard him say something about the terrible trouble we've been having in our city's streets, which went utterly unmentioned as far as I can see, as far as I could tell," said Hume before adding, "Nonetheless, all in all a good speech forcefully delivered and one I'm sure will give him a boost."
