Fox News’ Jessica Tarlov recently took on network host Sean Hannity after he pressed her to weigh in on President Joe Biden’s lone White House term, which is set to come to an end with President-elect Donald Trump’s inauguration next week.
On Friday’s broadcast of the show “Hannity,” Tarlov pointed to gas prices dropping, the nation’s 4.1% unemployment rate, growth in gross domestic product and a decrease in crossings at the U.S.-Mexico border, before calling on Hannity not to “deny the reality” of outcomes that the Biden White House “oversaw in the end.”
“There’s a reason that Donald Trump wants to try to take credit for these things,” she said.
“And there’s also a reason that now, Donald Trump, like in his Time interview … admitted, oh, well, prices are really hard to get down.”
She then pointed to Vice President-elect JD Vance’s recent call to “stabilize” prices and Tom Homan, Trump’s pick to be border czar in his new administration, reportedly telling Republicans to adjust their expectations around upcoming deportation efforts.
“They’re backing off of the promises that they made to the American people because they know they’re not going to be able to achieve them,” she said.
Hannity predicted that history will “not be kind” to Biden, whose most recent and final approval rating matched the lowest of his presidency.
Tarlov gave Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris a grade of “B” when asked how they performed in their four years in the White House. She went on to say that there’s been “a lot” done for the country under Biden and Harris through the so-called PACT Act and the CHIPS and Science Act, as well as the bipartisan infrastructure bill.

“[Those are] very, very, very good for this country, but there’s no doubt, they’re leaving in a cloud of disapproval,” Tarlov said.
Jessica: There is also a reason that Trump admitted that prices are really hard to get down. Vance saying we want to stabilize prices. Homan telling GOP members of Congress we need to be more reasonable about this deportation force. They are backing off of the promises they made..
