‘Oh My God’: ‘Morning Joe’ Hosts Go Off The Rails After Seeing Undecided Voters Rip Kamala
In a dramatic segment of MSNBC’s Morning Joe, co-host Mika Brzezinski lost it after witnessing undecided Gen Z voters expressing their skepticism toward Vice President Kamala Harris during a focus group led by veteran pollster Frank Luntz. The exchange, captured with only 25 days remaining until Election Day, revealed the ongoing battle for pivotal voters who remain torn between the candidates as former President Donald Trump and Harris make their final pitches.
Known for his experience in analyzing voter sentiment, Frank Luntz shared his findings from the focus group which had been conducted in collaboration with The New York Times. The participants, primarily Gen Z voters, showed their hesitations when talking about both political candidates’ challenges, a clear positive for Trump overall. Luntz’s analysis showed the razor-thin margins in critical swing states, making it clear that neither Trump nor Harris has a guaranteed path to victory.
Luntz elaborated that the decisions of undecided voters could tilt the outcome, but he raised concerns about their potential participation, saying, “I’m questioning whether these undecided voters are even going to participate.” The focus group footage played during the show revealed that many voters were hesitant to fully back Harris, citing concerns over her transparency and approach.
One voter, Abigail, expressed her need to research further before making a decision. “I do not want to tell my children that I voted for someone that actually threatened democracy,” she explained. Another participant, Angelo, voiced skepticism about Harris, despite his reluctance to support Trump. “I just cannot trust her,” he said. Their indecision revealed a critical problem for the Harris campaign—winning over young voters who feel disconnected from the current political landscape and frustrated by both major parties.

The “Morning Joe” hosts, particularly Brzezinski, appeared visibly frustrated by the undecided voters’ reluctance to fully commit to Harris. “Oh, ok. So first of all, we thank everybody for participating. No bad things to say about people who participate in these conversations. We thank you so much. But does anybody at this table need to take a deep breath? Because I do. I just do,” Brzezinski said, clearly frustrated.
“Oh my god, I mean, I’m just trying to find that grace,” she continued, attempting to grapple with the apparent disconnect between what she sees as the stakes of the election and the indecision among Gen Z voters. Brzezinski also claimed that the younger generation needs to recognize the reality of the political choices before them, suggesting that refusing to vote or choosing a third-party option was essentially “throwing your vote away.”
Luntz, however, defended the participants, arguing that their indecision was a result of both candidates failing to connect meaningfully with this key demographic. “If she loses, it’s going to be because she didn’t answer the questions that voters wanted answered,” he said, suggesting that a more aggressive media strategy could help her sway these voters. For the Harris campaign, the next few weeks will be critical in bridging this gap, while Trump’s team will likely seek to capitalize on these sentiments with Election Day fast approaching.
