‘Morning Joe’ BEGS Biden Aides To ‘Do The Right Thing’ And Push Him Out

If historians look back on 2024 for a moment when Democrats finally called it quits on President Joe Biden, they might add his close friend Joe Scarborough’s request that he “do the right thing” to the footnotes.

The MSNBC host told “Morning Joe” viewers on Thursday that his sympathy for the embattled president has run out, and it’s time for his top aides to admit there is no path to victory in November. The change of heart comes after months of Scarborough and his co-host, Mika Brzezinski, playing the role of happy warrior while Biden sank in the polls, at one point inviting him on to explain away his dismal debate performance. In his remarks, Scarborough was remarkably blunt in assessing the damage Biden’s intransigence is doing to the ticket.

Biden “has been an extremely successful president,” he said. “However, when you’re told by members of Congress that they’re losing, they’re gonna lose the House and the Senate if he stays on the ticket; when you’re told by members of Congress that you’re losing swing states and that your numbers are going down in swing states – states like Virginia and New Hampshire, New Mexico, Minnesota – are now in play; and when your top fundraiser… is telling you the money’s gone, the donors have all gone away… you know, it’s really incumbent on the people that are around Joe Biden to step up at this point and help the president and the man they love and do the right thing,” Scarborough said, adding emphasis.

“This is not going to end well if it continues to drag out. Look at the events of yesterday. The events of the last three weeks, and at some point, you know… I can tell you the anger that I hear is not at Joe Biden. The anger I hear are the people that are keeping him in a bubble or who may have their own interests, some financial, in keeping him in the race.”

WATCH:

“Let me tell you: that’s not just the anger from inside Congress. That is anger from inside his own political campaign, and it is widespread,” he added. “Joe Biden deserves better.”

As members of Hollywood and the Democratic elite began to bail on Biden in greater numbers, his supporters were always able to count on the MSNBC husband and wife couple to put forward robust defenses of his position in the polls, redirecting their anger toward former President Donald Trump or, on some occasions, one another. Their ire focused on network executives this week after “Morning Joe” was pulled from the air for 24 hours two days after President Trump avoided an assassination attempt after fears surfaced about what the hosts or their guests would do or say that could jeopardize the network at an extremely delicate time amid an outpouring of sympathy for the former president.

Multiple media outlets have confirmed that President Biden appears to be stepping toward the point of no return, with insiders characterizing him as being more receptive to stepping aside though angry at longtime allies like Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer for “stabbing him in the back,” one ally told Politico. A decision to exit the campaign may come as soon as this weekend, but aides insist Biden will not resign the presidency. Going forward, they suggest he would not endorse Vice President Kamala Harris, instead opting to let uncommitted delegates on the floor of next month’s Democratic National Convention be swayed by any and all contenders for his place at the top of the ticket.
