Tune in for this Morning Joe conversation with Joe Scarborough and Mike Barnicle as they analyze and discuss the possible rematch in the 2024 presidential election between President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump. “Joe Biden is going to beat Donald Trump. He’s going to beat him like a drum….I don't know how a guy goes to the country running for president of the United States who almost certainly will be carrying federal obstruction of justice charges against him, plus a couple other charges probably….How do you go to the country and win the presidency? I don’t see it,” says Barnicle about Trump, who was recently indicted in New York on more than 30 counts related to business fraud.

“He has the humility of an ordinary person….and he is very confident in his role as president. He knows what he's doing. If people don't think he knows what he's doing, I refer you to what's going on in Ukraine today. Ukraine has more allies today than would have been unthought of two years ago. Joseph R. Biden pulled that alliance together,” said veteran columnist Mike Barnicle during this Morning Joe conversation with Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski following President Biden’s official announcement that he will seek reelection. Watch the segment for more on Biden and his possible opponent in the in the 2024 presidential race.

Veteran columnist Mike Barnicle on President Joe Biden’s announcement of his 2024 bid for reelection: “His calmness, his deliberateness, his avoidance of calamity, his desire to calm this country down, and he's going to walk us through it. He's not going to run through it, and he's going to be Joe Biden….He’s going to stand out in an age when people are yelling and screaming on both sides of the political aisle. And yet, here he is, ‘just the facts, ma’am’, calmly, deliberately, and pump the brakes on the riotous atmosphere that we cling to each and every day in the news,” says Barnicle during this Morning Joe conversation with Joe Scarborough, Mika Brzezinski and Claire McCaskill.

Join this Morning Joe panel discussion about the impacts of the decision by U.S. District Judge Matthew Kacsmaryk, an appointee of former President Donald Trump, to order a hold on federal approval of the abortion pill mifepristone in a decision that overruled decades of scientific approval. “At ground level, what this means is: You're taking something away from people—specifically women. You’re taking a right away that they have had for decades,” says veteran columnist Mike Barnicle.

“Seemingly we cover these things at least once or twice a week in America. You heard the heart ache from survivors of people who were shot and killed in Louisville. We see it all the time. Because of the nature of the news business, it's so quick and swift, and things happen so rapidly, we move on from one incident to another, from one news story to another. But the ache, the heartache and the loss that was expressed in the clip that we just showed, that lasts forever, it affects a community forever. And it's inexplicable why, as you point out, largely the Republican Party is responsible for standing in the way of any substantive progress, even the smallest elements of progress, in terms of getting control of this virus that is crippling America, the gun virus. It is truly inexplicable. There's no way you can talk about it…There's no way you can understand what their motives are. Are they that afraid of one outfit, the National Rifle Association? I mean, it’s inexplicable,” says Barnicle about the Republican Party’s unwillingness to pass gun safety legislation in the wake of yet another mass shooting this week at a bank in Louisville, Kentucky, where a gunman opened fire and killed five people while injuring eight others, leaving multiple families devastated.

Watch this Morning Joe discussion about former President Donald Trump having praised authoritarian figures: President Xi Jinping of China, President Vladimir Putin of Russia and Kim Jong-Un of North Korea, suggesting the three are “top of the line” leaders. Says veteran columnist Mike Barnicle: "He's basically saying to people, ‘you'd be better off if you were living in Beijing, or Moscow, or somewhere in North Korea than you would be living in Chicago or Gardner, Massachusetts, or Lafayette, Louisiana. You would be better off anywhere, but living where you are now, because we don't have top of the line people.’ And I’m wondering how long it takes, maybe forever, before other Republicans who are leaders in the Republican Party or ordinary Republican members of the House and the Senate to realize that this guy's focus is not only on himself, but it's also conjoined with running down the country that we live in and love."

“If you want to witness one of the cruelest changes in our country over the last, I don't care, 50 or 100 years, take a morning off, Joe, get in your car and follow a school bus, an elementary school bus, and look at the parents as they watch their kids board the bus because you know some of them, maybe most of them are thinking, ‘oh, God, please let my child return home safely from elementary school,’ from elementary school,” says veteran columnist and MSNBC contributor Mike Barnicle about the parents of young children in America during this Morning Joe conversation with Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski after Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee (R) announced he plans to propose boosting school security in the wake of the Nashville school shooting that left six dead.

“It is hard to measure the danger and the damage that Donald Trump presents on a daily basis,” says veteran columnist and MSNBC contributor Mike Barnicle during this Morning Joe conversation Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski following Trump’s latest interview with Fox News during which he says Russian President Vladimir Putin will “ultimately” take over all of Ukraine. "If you're sitting in Paris, or Berlin, or London or any other capital in the world around the globe where you measure democracy with a large ‘D’ not a small ‘d,’ you're worried because you don't know what's on the horizon. You don't know what America is going to do in 2024. You don't know what part this man might play in the future of our democracy. And so if you're thinking about planning ahead, you can't plan ahead because of the danger and the damage that he represents every time he opens his mouth, every single time,” says about former President Trump.
