‘He Wanted to Go in There and Deliver an Argument for Re-Election’: Mason on Biden’s SOTU Address

RUSH TRANSCRIPT:
BAIER: “Jeff, what was it giddiness at the White House today? What was the reaction?”
MASON: “Oh, I think they were very pleased. I think Byron laid it out well in terms of the stakes for President Biden. He wanted to go in there and deliver an argument for re-election, which he did. And he wanted to dispel the concerns about his age, which he did. I mean, he used his voice — he spoke loudly for sure as Byron says. But he also thought on his feet and showed that he could think on his feet and bantered with people in the crowd, bantered back and forth with Republicans and with Democrats. And I think that was the signal that the White House was hoping he would send and they were pretty pleased that he did.”
