MSNBC Host Admits This Biden Poll Is ‘Freaking’ Him Out For 2024

In Wednesday’s episode of MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” the hosts openly discussed their concerns about President Biden’s sagging poll numbers and what it could mean for the 2024 election. The conversation was a rare moment of self-reflection for the network.

The hosts admitted that many Democrats are in “panic mode,” concerned that Biden’s lackluster performance could jeopardize the party’s chances in the next election. “American democracy is on the line,” Joe Scarborough said. “Do we really want to just cross our fingers and hope for the best?”

The hosts also discussed a Wall Street Journal poll that showed Donald Trump leading by 46 points over Ron DeSantis and another poll where 73% of Americans said Biden is too old.

“That Wall Street Journal poll… freaked me out,” admitted Donny Deutsch, who then added that Democrats need to rally behind Biden despite his shortcomings.

The hosts concluded that the Democrats’ best strategy might be to focus on the “fear of Donald Trump” and the potential ‘end of democracy’ if he wins a second term. However, they also acknowledged that this approach is far from ideal and reflects the party’s growing desperation.

The segment serves as a wake-up call for Democrats, who are increasingly concerned about Biden’s ability to secure a win in 2024. With polls showing dwindling support and key issues left unaddressed, the party is grappling with the reality that relying on “not being Trump” may not be enough to carry them to victory.

MSNBC isn’t the only media outlet worried about Trump’s chances in 2024 either. Yesterday in a surprising admission, CNN’s top political analyst, David Chalian, was forced to acknowledge that Trump was gaining strength in the race for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination.

“Our brand new numbers in this poll conducted by SSRS among Republican and Republican-leaning voters show that you have Donald Trump at 52 percent, majority support,” said Chalian. “Ron DeSantis is next in line here, way back at 18 percent. Everyone else is in single digits. This is a one-man race.”

The CNN analyst highlighted the significant movement in Trump’s favor since June. “Donald Trump is getting stronger as a front-runner. He is up five percentage points compared to where he was in June,” he noted.

In contrast, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, who was once considered a strong contender for the 2024 Republican nomination, appears to be losing ground. “Look at Ron DeSantis. He is slipping. He’s down eight percentage points from where he was in June,” Chalian said.

With Trump’s numbers on the rise and DeSantis slipping, the 2024 Republican nomination increasingly looks like Trump’s to lose. If these trends continue, it could set the stage for a political comeback unlike any seen in modern American history.
