Joe Concha: Biden was going to be 'thrown bouquets of flowers' regardless of his SOTU performance

Fox News contributor Joe Concha told ‘Fox & Friends First’ on Friday that “the president was going to be thrown bouquets of flowers” from the media following his State of the Union speech “regardless of how this address went.” 

“Just go back and read the headlines from a year ago, 2023. Same deal, Biden showed passion, vigor, stamina, commanded the facts,” Concha said. “Look, if Joe Biden did a 70-minute press conference with actual journalists asking the questions, then I think you could apply all those terms around vigor and stamina and passion.” 

“But last night was simply a matter of him reading a speech that he practiced for nearly a week off of a teleprompter. He beat expectations because that is easy to do when the expectations are a speed bump,” Concha continued. 

“For all the praise Biden is receiving this morning, I can safely bet that if you went out on the street... asked anyone who watched that speech if they could remember one major policy announcement or change from Biden’s first three years... what would make the American people believe that anything will be any different?” Concha also said.
