Tune in for this Morning Joe conversation with Willie Geist, Jonathan Lemire, Symone Sanders-Townsend and Mike Barnicle as they discuss the new Bloomberg/Morning Consult poll that shows President Joe Biden has made significant gains against the presumptive Republican nominee, Donald Trump, during the past month in six of seven 2024 swing states. Barnicle attributes the gains in part to “the president of the United States Joseph R. Biden being out there, people seeing him, say, ‘oh, okay, fine, I know how old he is; but he’s pretty sharp.’ He knows what he’s doing. And they consider the weight of what he’s carrying when he goes to a small town in North Carolina. He’s coming in with the Gaza war going on, he’s coming in with the Ukrainian war going on, he’s coming in with the economy burping everyday one way or another trying to figure out which way we're going and which way we're going to be headed, and that's what people want to know. ‘Where are you going to take us?’ Joe Biden tells you where he wants to take this country. Donald Trump tells you when he is going to court next.” Join the conversation here.

“There has been continued exposure to Donald Trump. The more exposure that Donald Trump has on TV, the attack that ...the Republicans continue to make against Joe Biden, is pretty much universally confined to one word – old: He’s old. And yet, you see Donald Trump on TV night after night at these rallies where he’s practically incoherent….Do you think, more and more voters, potential voters, are saying, ‘hmm, what about the other guy, though?,’” asks veteran columnist Mike Barnicle of Bloomberg politics editor Laura Davison about President Joe Biden who joins Morning Joe to discuss a new Bloomberg/Morning Consult poll that shows Biden has made significant gains against the presumptive Republican nominee, Donald Trump, during the past month in six of seven 2024 swing states.

Watch this Morning Joe conversation with Joe Scarborough, Jonathan Lemire, Pablo Torre and Mike Barnicle about the gambling and theft allegations surrounding Ippei Mizuhara, the former interpreter and close friend of Los Angeles Dodgers superstar Shohei Ohtani, after at least $4.5 million in wire transfers were reportedly sent from Ohtani's bank account to a Southern California bookmaking operation that is under federal investigation. "Major League Baseball and every baseball fan should really be praying that the greatest star that has appeared in the Major League Baseball stage maybe since Babe Ruth, Ohtani, did not bet on any games. That's the hope here,” says Barnicle. Join the conversation here.

Morning Joe's Willie Geist, Jonathan Lemire and Mike Barnicle talk about the famed Philadelphia Eagles player and big brother Jason Kelce having announced his retirement through an emotional farewell press conference that felt more like a family affair than a business decision, with his parents and younger brother, Kansas City Chiefs star tight end, Travis Kelce, sitting nearby. “The thing that struck me the most was the element of good parenting. Clearly, his parents and his brother's parents, they had a remarkable influence on these two guys,” says Barnicle about the Kelce brothers. Join the conversation here.

Watch this Morning Joe conversation between The Atlantic staff writer Franklin Foer and veteran columnist Mike Barnicle about Foer’s article entitled “The Golden Age of American Jews is Ending,” which explains how Anti-Semitism on the right and the left threatens to bring to a close an unprecedented period of safety and prosperity for Jewish Americans—and demolish the liberal order they helped establish. Foer writes and explains how “the Jewish vacation from history ended September 11th, 2001.”

Listen in on this Morning Joe conversation with Joe Scarborough, the Rev. Al Sharpton, Mika Brzezinski and Mike Barnicle as they discuss former President Donald Trump’s rhetoric toward immigrants and the media coverage of President Joe Biden as the two head into a likely rematch in November. “On Sunday, the New York Times had a front-page story about a poll that parts of it were devastating to the chances for Joe Biden to win re-election. On Monday, again, on the front page above the fold, they had another story about Joe Biden, referencing the poll, but again referencing Joe Biden's age. Why is it that they don't cover things that we just saw and heard—a man who is literally losing his mind in front of audiences coast to coast – his name is Donald J. Trump? Why is it that this is not covered in a similar fashion to the way Joe Biden's age is covered? Joe Biden knows how old he is, and Joe Biden does more in one hour, in a day, in the White House than Donald Trump has ever done in his presidency….I hate to criticize print media. I’m a print media guy, but this is out of control,” says Barnicle about the media coverage of President Biden this election season. Watch and join the conversation here.

“This is a Republican Party now committed to themselves, the same way their nominee, Donald Trump, is committed to himself….He suggested that it would be wonderful if the stock market crashed this year. So it would help him electorally. In other words, he would be applauding if people went broke, lost their homes, or whatever this year because it would enhance his opportunities to again become president of the United States. There is no more Republican Party. The Republican party of just recent memory, the Republican Party that you (Joe Scarborough) belonged to, that you ran for office under their flag, Joe, that party is long gone,” says Mike Barnicle about the Republican Party during this Morning Joe conversation about the state of the party as former President Donald Trump's push to kill a bipartisan immigration deal may now have derailed a major national security package, forcing Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell to suggest a new course of action and endangering aid to Ukraine and Israel in the process.

Watch this Morning Joe conversation between Jonathan Lemire and Mike Barnicle as they discuss President Joe Biden’s trip to Valley Forge, Pennsylvania, where he will deliver a speech on democracy to mark the January 6th anniversary in what will resemble an unofficial campaign kickoff for his reelection bid. “Unless you concentrate on telling people and talking about democracy, we're soon going to end up losing a democracy. I mean, this is a very depressing state that we're in as a country when you think about it….The year ahead is going to be really, really demanding of us as citizens, to take a look at what's going to happen. The President of the United States every day has the job of doing many, many things….And he’s got to ask America really, not in these words, but he’s going to ask America: ‘What do you want to risk going forward.’ Listen to Donald Trump, listen to Joe Biden, what are you willing to risk with your vote?” asks Barnicle as we embark on this 2024 presidential election year.
