‘I’m Really Sad’: Mika Brzezinski Mourns End Of Biden Campaign

MSNBC host Mika Brzezinski mourned President Joe Biden’s decision to end his presidential campaign on “Morning Joe” Monday.

Biden revealed he would not accept the Democratic Party’s nomination for president in a Sunday afternoon post on X, following it up with an endorsement of Vice President Kamala Harris for the Democratic nomination. Brzezinski, who effusively praised Biden in the past, lauded Biden for “authenticity” and an “empathic” touch.

“I’m really sad. Joe Biden is a patriot. I love him, I love his family and I love what he’s done for the country,” Brzezinski said. “He had authenticity and touch. Whether you, you know, saw it or not, everything about him, even sometimes the stutter and the bumbling, was a part of the touch, part of the empathic, very loving, very clear, clear-eyed touch that he had, that allowed him and enabled him to be an effective president, but all that turned against him after the debate for all the reasons we discussed.”

Biden has faced multiple calls to step aside as the Democratic nominee since a poor performance in a June 27 CNN debate
