ICYMI: “There was no bitterness, no resentment, no self-pity in his voice or in his presentation... Last night you saw a portrait of character in the president of the United States. Going forward, I think his place in history is well sealed by his presidency," says veteran columnist Mike Barnicle during this Morning Joe conversation with Mika Brzezinski about President Joe Biden’s remarks from the Oval Office on his decision to abandon his bid for re-election and support Vice President Kamala Harris for the Democratic nomination for president. "You can only imagine how difficult it is for anyone to give up such power….And now, America has been given an object lesson in character and history by a man, ‘here I am, Joe Biden behind the Resolute desk ceding power'."

"A sleeper issue in this campaign—guns, violence, street violence, young kids being shot and killed at the age of 12, 13, even younger. What role is that going to play in the campaign, according to your estimates, and how do you go at it if you are looked at as a progressive Democrat?” asks veteran columnist Mike Barnicle of Gov. JB Pritzker (D-IL) during this Morning Joe conversation about the issue of gun control in the 2024 presidential race.

“We’re talking about a guy who's been in the business of politics for 50 years, a public school guy, a guy who rode the train back and forth from Washington to Wilmington for years, a guy who can look people in the eye, slap them on the shoulder, establish an instant rapport with them, a guy who has known world leaders, a guy who has sponsored legislation and sponsored a lot of legislation that passed and might change the country eventually down the road—the Chips Act, the Inflation Reduction Act. Sum up for us if you could, how all of those strengths are also part of his weakness,” asks veteran columnist Mike Barnicle of The Atlantic staff writer Franklin Foer, who joins Morning Joe to discuss his latest article entitled “Biden’s Greatest Strengths Proved His Undoing,” which explains how the personal qualities that enabled President Joe Biden’s successes in office helped doom his candidacy for reelection. Watch the conversation here. Only on MSNBC. "

"The sadness of this is personal for me and I think for people who know Joe Biden," said Morning Joe's Mike Barnicle during this conversation with Jonathan Lemire about the ongoing pressure from high-ranking Democrats on President Joe Biden to drop out of the 2024 race for the White House. "You don't want to see him pushed out, you don’t want to see him hurt or humiliated. You want to see him thrive to be a success, whether he walks away from the nomination or sticks it out for the nomination. You want to see him succeed." Tune into the segment here.

ICYMI: Morning Joe’s Joe Scarborough and Mike Barnicle address the ongoing speculation of whether President Joe Biden will step aside from the 2024 presidential election, following President Joe Biden having admitted to a Wisconsin radio station that he "screwed up" in last week's debate against former President Donald Trump, but having vowed to fight on in the election race and move to reassure key allies. "He knows what's going on. He knows the depth of trouble. He knows that the debate that people saw something they cannot unsee; but he also knows something that apparently the Biden administration hasn't fully explained to the American public...The Biden Administration has passed the Inflation Reduction Act and CHIPS Act, two pieces of legislation that I’m told by people who know far more about economics than I do, will change and improve the progress of our economy, modernize it, make it more widely spread in terms of both the country, red states specifically will benefit from it more than blue states will; employment is on the rise. Now, the decision on what he does going forward is his and his alone, in concert with his family, clearly. He will make the right decision for the country and for himself,” says Barnicle about Biden amid the fallout from his debate performance, which has prompted calls for him to drop out of the 2024 race.
