Inside Biden's obsession with "Morning Joe"
Axios ^ | 2/2/24 | Alex Thompson

When White House aides appear on MSNBC's "Morning Joe," they're often booked between 7 and 7:40 a.m. ET. That's so they'll reach one crucial and loyal viewer: President Biden.

Why it matters: Biden's years-long love of MSNBC's staple morning show affects how the White House runs — and who Biden listens to. ,p> Zoom in: The president often calls co-host Joe Scarborough — a former Republican congressman who's now a harsh critic of Donald Trump — to get Scarborough's take on issues and sometimes vent about media coverage, according to people familiar with the relationship. ,p> During the day, Biden has long asked his staff whether they saw a story, a poll, or a segment that had been on the show. He's included show regulars in off-the-record conversations with policy experts.

Biden pays particular attention to — and has consulted with — "Morning Joe" regulars such as longtime reporter Mike Barnicle, foreign policy expert Richard Haass and historian Jon Meacham, who has assisted on several Biden speeches.

Vice President Kamala Harris watches "Morning Joe," too: She and Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff hosted a dinner last month at the vice presidential residence for Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski, his co-host and wife

Will Biden start telling audiences that Morning Joe lost his intern in Iraq?

If Biden wins re-election, I expect Mika to be the US Ambassador to Poland.

It’s too bad Captain Kangaroo and Bozo aren’t around anymore. They might get invited to join the Administration.

Well, now we know where the creepy hatred of half the American people comes from: Joe's sycophant Meacham. Jamie Dimon and Bill Mahar should pull Meacham aside and speak sense to his blind hatred and petty nastiness.

“I” am actually amazed Joe Biden is awake that early to see the show - Or does he sleep in, then get a tape delay without the commercials? (More likely by far in my opinion. )

Regardless. It is actually good to see that Biden actually has somebody he listens to! At least now we know who is running the country.

/sarchasm. That gaping hole between a liberal and the real world.

Didn’t they rip into Trump for watching Fox News in the Oval Office? At least most of the Fox people aren’t certifiable.
