They were powerful in Democratic politics before the election. Adrienne knew that the best way to get through to Biden was to have Mika & Joe discuss what was going wrong with his campaign. Biden loved Morning Joe & would watch it without his advisers interfering.

From the NY Times. Adrienne Elrod contacted to Joe, who knew how to get information to Biden.Mika & joe are more powerful than they let on. "The hosts of “Morning Joe” on MSNBC, which the president watched every morning. Ms. Elrod was close to Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski from her years appearing on their show before joining the campaign. Ms. Elrod called Mr. Scarborough to discuss the polling and concerns inside the campaign that the president was being kept in the dark, in the hopes that he would convey those points on the show. Days before Mr. Biden dropped out of the race, Mr. Scarborough channeled those frustrations when he said on the air. “The anger that I hear is not at Joe Biden,” Mr. Scarborough said. “The anger I hear are the people who are keeping him in a bubble.” https://www.nytimes.com/2025/07/08/us/politics/biden-aides-election-age.html

Trump gained new voters, which was a challenging task. Trump had a cordial meeting with Biden, but he was sharper mentally after the election. He was very frail.

Joe's new tactic is to feign surprise at what Trump is doing. Dr Dave had no business being a COVID-19 specialist for Morning Joe.

Joe said AOC, Sanders & Mamdani are the most compelling spokespeople for Democrats. Dr Dave Campbell showed up. he was the Morning Joe Covid specialist & the neighbor of Joe.

Mika started moaning. Pablo said it's a big transfer of wealth from poor people to wealthy people. Elise said Democrats have to do better messaging. Elise works weekends now for MSNBC.
