'Go out and talk about Joe Biden!' DNC chair spits fire at MSNBC over polling anxiety

I watched this clip and I am not worried



https://www.rawstory.com/jaime-harrison-rachel-maddow/

Democratic National Committee Chair Jaime Harrison was fired up for President Joe Biden despite an MSNBC host suggesting he could not win in 2024......

Harrison responded to Maddow's concerns a few moments later.

"And what we have to do is instead of having people get on TV and start talking about what Joe Biden needs to leave, talk about what Joe Biden has done and what he will continue to do!" he exclaimed. "If Joe Biden is elected and we are able to wipe out medical debt, I can tell you in the Black community, in my family, how transformational that will be."

"On the [Republican] side, we have these people who are talking about ripping away people's freedoms and their rights," he noted. "I just want people to step back and just think about where we are."

The DNC chair then delivered a message that seemed to be directed at Maddow.

"If you want the polls to go up, then hell, go out and talk about Joe Biden!" he said. "Talk about the good that he has done for this country and have his back like he has had our back for these past four years."

She's looking at jail not only because she's a liberal journalist, but because she is a woman, and lesbian.

Anything they say on there won't matter.

Obey and consume, buy gasoline, go to a church that reinforces it.

This guy is a total fascist, but apparently he is so arrogant and/or stupid he hasn't figured out that if the Christian nationalists at the Heritage Foundation implement Project 2025, Thiel will be the first person on the chopping block. Don't think these people don't have the capability of killing people they don't like. He hasn't figured that out.

I guess he thinks his money will protect him.

As the oligarchs who cross Putin quickly find out, it doesn't.

Fascists will nationalize everything then divvy it up and appoint (give) loyal underlings pieces of the pie creating a corrupt true Oligarchy as exists in Russia and is taking shape in Hungary today. They will take your rich guy shit away from you for any fucking reason they want and give it to their aunt or son or daughter or high school buddy. That's how it works. It's not just the masses that get ruled with an iron fist, it's EVERYONE but a very few who have bent the knee. There's a reason Oligarch's go flying out of windows in Russia and lack of billions of dollars isn't one of them.

The Felon get's re-elected he just might give Barron Goldman-Sach's for his birthday

so much as it was at the Democratic politicians who are talking about Joe needing to quit because of the polls instead of talking about the good he has done and working to get the polls UP.

I had the exact same reaction!

Plus the knowledge that Biden is the only one with the power to make this decision. He's really demonstrating what a fighter he is. And he calls out reporters for not focusing on the 28 lies by Trump, and reporters got it wrong in 2022 with the so-called, red wave.

He has proven himself since the debate. And so have the voters. I still hear Friday's crowd of Motown is Joetown chanting, "We got your back! We got your back!" And "Joe don't quit, Joe don't quit!" Beautiful!

program. So many of us have been hollering this from the wilderness. The list of great things is there and it keeps growing every day. Don't let them be successful in their strategy to fill up all of the air time/public attention/discussion time with all of this nonsense about age etc. You know they are going to give the vast majority of time to covering the Orange Ruski and so don't squander the time you do have by letting them dictate the discussion topics. I would be thrilled if a high ranking Dem went on TV and when faced with this prattle about age they would look at the interviewer and say "I'm going to talk about what we've done for people and if you want anything else you can go f**k yourself". It would be one of the most glorious moments in media history.

I have been sooo angry and disgusted with these back stabbing dems much less the worthless media. Don't watch msnbc except for Lawrence after debate- who the hell doesn't have bad days??? Even Thom Hartmann called for Joe to step down the next day - et tu? WTF???
If they push President Joe out I will not vote. These idiots are committing political suicide. Thanks for letting me vent.

I happened to flip over when he was on and I was thrilled. He was so positive as he listed some of the President’s achievements. There were so many. He said the naysayers need to shut up…
The President can easily run on his record if we make sure it’s out there, constantly. People have to be reminded.
