'Morning Joe' co-host Joe Scarborough cautioned the Democratic Party not to make any hasty decisions regarding President Biden after previously questioning his chances.
'Morning Joe' co-host Joe Scarborough called on Democrats to 'take a deep breath' and 'honor' President Biden by not demanding he drop out of the race yet, one week after he said it was Democrats' 'last chance' to decide if Biden was fit for office. 'Let’s be smart. Let’s take a deep breath, and let’s understand, it’s only July the 5th.
In the weeks leading up to the June debate, the MSNBC host mocked reports about rising concerns over the president's mental fitness for office. 'These Republicans never learn. They constantly underestimate Joe Biden. They constantly say he’s an old man, he can’t speak,' Scarborough blasted the GOP on his May 16 show. Scarborough said Biden proved critics wrong with his State of the Union address and made his critics 'look like children.' 'He's far beyond cogent.
Since the president's widely-panned debate performance on June 27, Democratic donors, allies and backers in the liberal media have been sent into a panic and prompted calls for him to drop out of the race. Biden said in an interview this week that he 'screwed up' but added that voters should trust his 3 ½ year record in office over his performance in a 90-minute debate. He's also scheduled to give an interview to ABC News' George Stephanopoulos on Friday.
