Morning Joe reasserted its political importance on Monday with interviews with two of Kamala Harris’ potential vice president contenders and adversaries.
This punchy return to form came a week after the hosts of the show were benched following the attempted assassination of Donald Trump, and the subsequent threat by its hosts—Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski—to quit if such a thing ever happened again.
The next day, Scarborough told viewers of the preceding day’s decision by MSNBC to air rolling news instead: “The news feed will be us, or they can get somebody else to host the show.”
