this is bret baier, peter doocy, the first two to roll on the lawn with john roberts. good afternoon, john. >> mike >> in sports the best offense is a good defense. in politics, it is the other way around and the president will definitely be going on offense this afternoon. the president will say in his speech there just outside of joe biden's birthplace of scranton, pennsylvania, biden left scranton several years ago and ripped off the residents of pennsylvania with bad policies and bad trade deals. he will add biden wants to raise taxes by $14 trillion in biden support for a green new deal would devastate pennsylvania's industry. the president will also appeal to moms with law and order pitch in his remarks "if you want a vision of your life under joe biden presidency, imagine the smoldering ruins of minneapolis, violent -- bloodstained sidewalks of chicago coming to every city and town in america. also by going to biden's hometown, scranton, pennsylvania, this afternoon the president sharply contrasting his traveling across the country with his campaign to joe biden

. >> dana: let's bring in our stellar panel, chris wallace, bret baier and martha maccallum. chris, let me start with you and maybe get your overall opinion about the reaction so far to this pick. how do you think it's playing? >> well, like everything else these days, dana, it's following partisan lines. democrats pretty excited about it. couple of naysayers on the far left who don't think that she's progressive enough. generally speaking, i think pretty positive from democrats. you get someone like bernie sanders on the left supporting her a lot of the democratic establishment supporting. that's the main thing, what does she do galvanizing support. on the republican side, it's scattered. some people say she's a far-lefter. some people say that she's a flip-flopper, she's a phony, she's ambitious. i think to the degree that they're a little adrift, republicans in figuring out how to attack her. that's a positive for democrats. there is -- if it had been elizabeth warren, far left. susan rice, you know, just a replay of the russian investigation in the obama administration. t

bret baier, we are going to stay with you. >> okay. >> dana: okay. all right.ve been told he has told his adviser he has chosen a running mate and he is announcing soon. good thing i'm still on the show and i haven't walked jasper, it looks like this imminent. kamala harris considered the front runner. do you think there could be surprises here, though? >> i do there is going to be surprises. there were whispers about gretchen whitmer, the michigan governor. she met face to face with the former vice president. that caused all kinds of stir. especially with the african-american community. some writing letters to biden saying you better pick a black woman. there is all kind of things. however, you look just about the geographic benefit. michigan, wisconsin, that helps biden in those spots. obviously you look at the graphic with all of the possibilities. we don't have real indication that he has narrowed. i don't think kamala harris, there has been an up and down on the betting on senator harris. and whether it's going to be her. she is listed in the d.n.c. talkin

led spring in bret baier, chief political anchor, "special report." you were talking about seeing two people up on stage and getting a sense of the chemistry. what did you think of the chemistry of these two individuals? >> bret: it's a little tough, isn't it, in the covid times with social distancing and everything else and the empty gym where they are waving to essentially 12 reporters in duct tape circles that are 6 feet apart. it's empty and they pump the music in. it's a weird, surreal moment. but i think what you saw in those speeches was an effort to tie the two together, to show they are simpatico, in joe biden's worth. and they are real string together was they both spent a lot of time going after donald trump. i think that's what you're going to see out of kamala harris, on the attack and a prosecutorial way. i agree with dana that there was a piece of it that was about introducing senator harris to the american public because every network took it. there will be a lot of eyeballs to see what this ticket looks like. >> jesse: let's bring in g
