The Democratic Party is unraveling faster than an unknit sweater, and MSNBC is right there to televise the chaos. This left-leaning megaphone, once a cozy sanctuary for President Joe Biden’s bedtime stories, has turned into a battlefield where even Biden’s own comrades are taking shots at his re-election dreams for 2024.
Up until now, Biden could always rely on MSNBC to coddle his talking points and polish his image. But things have taken a turn for the worse. From lawmakers to campaign strategists, liberal analysts, and even Biden himself, the network has become a confessional booth for Democrats grappling with the reality that Joe might not be their guy anymore.

Left-leaning network?. More like a Marxist/ Fascist Woke DEI network. https://t.co/wNqHzDZ77K

This internal squabble isn’t just happening in some backroom filled with vape smoke and cold-pressed juice. It’s right there on live TV, with MSNBC marking the front lines of Biden’s fast-fading political hopes. On Monday, Biden tried to quiet the rumors, babbling on MSNBC that he’s not going anywhere, in a phone call that sounded like Grandpa insisting he can still drive even though the family knows he’s already hit three mailboxes this month.
Just two days later, the rubber stamp of Democratic approval, former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, took her turn on MSNBC’s Morning Joe. During the interview, she practically rolled her eyes while talking about Biden’s re-election, hinting that Democrats aren’t exactly jazzed about his prospects. She played the diplomatic card, saying it’s up to the president to decide, but then practically screamed that he needs to hurry up because November is around the corner.
To add fuel to the dumpster fire, MSNBC host Nicolle Wallace jumped on the train to Suggestionville. She mused that maybe it’s time for Biden to pass the torch to Vice President Kamala Harris. According to Wallace, Harris has that “magnetic” charm and untapped skills which, let’s face it, haven’t exactly been showcased because Biden can hardly manage a coherent thought on stage, much less spotlight his VP.
Meanwhile, evening host Chris Hayes chimed in with concerns about Biden’s age, fretting that it makes him a prime target for losing re-election to any Republican with a pulse. Hayes also scratched his head over why Trump, just a few years younger, isn’t under the same level of scrutiny. Maybe because Trump’s rallies aren’t like watching someone try to reboot Windows 95 in real-time.
Coming up, Biden is scheduled for an interview with NBC’s Lester Holt. This will probably be another episode of the “Biden Stammer Fest,” considering his performance in the first presidential debate sent Democrats running for cover. After his stuttering answers and glazed-over looks, it’s no wonder calls are increasing for someone more, shall we say, present-minded to lead the ticket.
