‘Number You Just Can’t Get Past’: Joe Scarborough Says Point-Blank Biden ‘Is Going To Lose’ Election To Donald Trump

MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough said with certainty Thursday that President Joe Biden will lose the election due to a new poll finding nearly two-thirds of Democrats calling on him to step down.

An AP/NORC poll from Wednesday found 65% of Democrats believe Biden should drop out of the race and select a different nominee, as concerns about his age and mental acuity have increasingly inflicted the party. Scarborough asserted it is impossible for a candidate to win with these sorts of numbers.

“Show me any candidate from any year, running for any position, where he gets to the general election where two-thirds of his own party don’t want him to run. I don’t care if it’s Joe Biden in 2024, if it’s Joe Scarborough in like 1996, if it’s a mayor running in 2014, that candidate is going to lose. Those are number you just can’t get passed, Mika,” Scarborough said.

“And what you just said, Joe, this just goes back to the point that you made a week ago, perhaps more, that the Dems need to get it together. They really need to get whatever they’ve got going, going,” Brzezinski said. “Whatever it is, the problem should not be our candidate, the focus should be Donald Trump. You know, it may or may not be Joe Biden, I trust Joe Biden’s abilities.”

“I also trust Nancy Pelosi’s political acumen. Nobody knows politics better than her and nobody more than Nancy Pelosi. She does not get out there without information to back it up. She doesn’t take risks, and she knows her politics, she knows her numbers,” she continued.

Pelosi did not give an adamant answer on whether Biden should stay in the race after having remained a staunch supporter of his throughout his first term.

Twenty congressional Democrats have called on Biden to withdraw his reelection bid in response to his disastrous debate performance. Democratic California Rep. Adam Schiff, a current senatorial candidate, publicly spoke out against Biden’s candidacy in a Wednesday statement.

“But our nation is at a crossroads. A second Trump presidency will undermine the very foundation of our democracy, and I have serious concerns about whether the President can defeat Donald Trump in November,” Schiff told The LA Times.

Polls have shown voters’ concerns about the 81-year-old Biden’s age and his mental capacity throughout his presidency. The corporate media have long framed these concerns as right-wing conspiracies and even as a Russian narrative prior to the debate.
