‘A Lot To Throw Away’: ‘Morning Joe’ Co-Host Says Dems Will Regret Dumping Biden

“Morning Joe” co-host Mika Brzezinski said that Democrats would regret it if they push President Joe Biden aside in the 2024 election.

Biden has faced multiple calls to step aside as the Democratic nominee since a poor performance in a June 27 CNN debate with former President Donald Trump. Even former President Barack Obama reportedly said Biden’s path to collecting the necessary 270 electoral votes has “greatly diminished,” according to The Washington Post. Brzezinski praised Biden Friday morning in light of the movement to oust him from the ticket.

“He’s also a man of faith and a man of tremendous historic accomplishment and, look, it’s impossible to ignore where this is going and exactly what started it. I’m not unaware of that,” Brzezinski said. “At the same time, I still believe that you don’t know what you have until it’s gone, and that there will be that feeling at some point.”

That led Scarborough to ask, “If he leaves the race, you think Democrats will regret it?”

“I do,” Brzezinski said. “I do. Because among many reasons, which I’ve already stated, I won’t say it again, don’t worry, but none of these notions are backed by a strong alternative, an alternative that has beat Trump before, an alternative that is vetted, an alternative that is tested and so that’s a lot to throw away.”
