Prior to the speech, the two\u2064 were caught\u2062 on a hot mic\u200c discussing\u200d their feelings about the event, with Vance noting he \u2063expected a great speech but \u200bquestioning how it would last that long.\u200b Johnson reminisced about the difficulties of previous sessions during President Biden&#8217;s speeches, referring to them as \u2062&#8221;<a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\">stupid campaign speeches<\/a>.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>This exchange highlights the contrasting perspectives \u200bbetween the Republican leaders and the\u200d Democrats,notably regarding\u200b the tone and substance of presidential addresses. Biden&#8217;s past speeches have faced criticism for \u200blacking focus and being overly political, a sentiment Johnson echoed when reflecting on his experiences as House\u2063 Speaker during Biden&#8217;s last \u200daddress to Congress.<\/p>\n<p>The event illustrates the ongoing political dynamics as Trump and Republican leaders look to strengthen their positions,\u2062 while Democrats aim to counter their messaging.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Johnson caught on hot mic with Vance ripping Biden ahead of Trump speech<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_2028202\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>House Speaker <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/mike-johnson\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Mike Johnson<\/a> (R-LA) and Vice President<a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/jd-vance\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\"> JD Vance<\/a> were caught on a hot mic speaking ahead of President Donald Trump&rsquo;s address to Congress, with Johnson contrasting Trump with former President Joe Biden.<\/p>\n<p>Vance and Johnson stood behind Trump during Tuesday night&rsquo;s speech in the House chamber, as is customary for the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/hunter-biden-defector-emails-pipeline-to-obama-admin-seen-as-currency\/\" title=\"Hunter Biden Defector Emails: &#039;Pipeline&#039;
