Joe Biden

In a recent interview with The New York Times, House Speaker Emerita Pelosi discussed President Biden’s quick endorsement of Vice President Harris after withdrawing from the race and said Democrats would have benefitted from an open primary instead. Former special assistant to President Biden Meghan Hays joins Alex Witt to discuss this and Democratic messaging shortcomings.

President Biden has invited President-elect Trump to lunch at the White House on Wednesday as part of the peaceful transition of power.

New York Times reporter Peter Baker and Bloomberg reporter Akalya Gardner discuss these topics and more.

President Joe Biden will welcome President-elect Donald Trump to the White House on Nov. 13, a traditional meeting that Trump skipped when Biden was the president-elect in 2020.

This is a time of reflection and reassessment for Democrats. Symone Sanders Townsend speaks to the groups that need to look inward following the party’s election failures. Eddie Glaude and Leah Daughtry also unpack what happened.

President Biden promised a peaceful transfer of power following President-elect Trump's win. Washington Post national reporter Carol Leonnig and Presidential historian Douglas Brinkley join Chris Jansing to discuss.

President Biden delivered an address on President-elect Donald Trump's election victory and assured Americans there would be a peaceful transition of power. Biden took time to thank his staff and supporters for the work they had done and what they will continue to do as his administration comes to a close.

In Michigan and Wisconsin in particular, victory or defeat could come down to voters who are considering casting "protest votes". Primarily motivated by their anger over the Biden-Harris administration’s continued support for Israel’s war in Gaza, some uncommitted voters may vote for a third-party candidate, vote for Trump, or abstain from voting altogether. “What it comes down to is, what can you do to help the people of Gaza to the maximum degree that you can?” says Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison. “To me, that's to support the person who says they want a ceasefire, the person who says they want humanitarian assistance and want to uphold international human rights law.”

Last month, Donald Trump called Vice President Harris’ supporters “garbage.” As MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell points out, the news media ignored it. Lawrence compares the way the news media treats Donald Trump’s use of the word “garbage” after trying to turn President Biden’s use of the word “garbage” into a controversial news story.

Former President Trump reacted to President Biden's "garbage" comment. Meanwhile, Nikki Haley says Trump's "masculinity stuff" will not help him among female voters. NBC News' Dasha Burns reports from North Carolina. Former Rep. David Jolly and Distinguished Professor at Princeton University Eddie Glaude join Chris Jansing to react.
