Chris Wallace Issues Dire Evaluation of Biden’s Presidency: ‘Not in Good Shape’

Fox News' Chris Wallace is offering a bleak evaluation of the state of President Joe Biden's presidency.

During an appearance on Fox News' "America's Newsroom" on Friday, Wallace was asked where he thinks "the Biden presidency is now after yesterday and then last night."

"Well, not in good shape," Wallace began. "The fact of the matter is that Joe Biden doesn’t have enough juice. Not with Republicans. He doesn’t have enough juice with his own party.”

The "Fox News Sunday" host noted that Democrats do not need to rely on Republicans to pass their agenda.

He explained, "That's twice now in a month that he's gone up to the Hill, met with the House Democratic caucus, pleaded with them to pass the infrastructure bill and in effect said, 'I'm going to cover you, I've got your back' on this big tax-and-spend, I guess it's now down to $1.75 trillion."

"I have been covering Washington for 40 years and you don’t put the president in a room … unless you know what the result is going to be," he added.

Finally, Wallace said, "And you normally know the result because people are too supportive of him or too scared of him to buck him. But, that’s not true with Joe Biden. He goes up there and he says, 'My presidency and the House and Senate Democratic majorities will be determined by what happens.' He said in the next week but he really wanted it yesterday. And they ignore him, they give him the back of their hand."

"So that's not a good sign for a president when he doesn't have enough juice within the members of his own party to get an important bill passed," he added.

Wallace wound down this evaluation of Biden's presidency by sharing his prediction of what may happen if the Virginia Republican gubernatorial nominee Glenn Youngkin defeats former Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe (D) in the Nov. 2 election.

"If you think that the Biden agenda is having a tough time right now... If [Virginia] goes for a Republican against a former popular governor, Terry McAuliffe, next Tuesday, you're going to see Democrats run for the hills and they're going want to go as far away from Joe Biden and the Democratic agenda as they can," Wallace said.

He added, "And if was tough to pass these bills in Congress this week, if McAuliffe loses, it's going to be even tougher next week.

Wallace's comments come after House Democrats had to once again postpone a vote on the $1.2 trillion bipartisan infrastructure package, and as FiveThirtyEight's tracker finds that 51.1% of Americans do not approve of Biden's job performance while 43.7% say they do.
