What will happen to Nicole Wallace, and others, if Biden wins?

Her program is called Dateline White House and has been dedicated to cover Trump. She has been careful not to wade into Democratic politics. At some point she even commented that she did not want to get into Democratic primaries. The Presidential, that is.

work by providing commentaries. And, apparently, are being paid well.

except reverting to more centrist critiques and coverage of politics moving on.

She's never going to become a Democrat or liberal long-term, but she's very clearly become a centrist independent. So I'd expect that sometimes we will like what she has to say, and sometimes we won't, which to be honest, in a news host I am just fine with. I don't need a liberal Fox News. I just want an independent media.

speechwriter? MSNBC seems to love her, and she does not take bullshit lightly.

Great sense of humor, too.

She had the sense to bail a long time ago. I remember when Rachel Maddow first had her on the show, she was gracious to her and sort of introducing her as a reasonable person who was traumatized by the McCain campaign. I was all that surprised to see her get a job with the network after about a year.

the Biden's one - there is always room for criticism - her star on these pages may fade a bit.

I have no interest in MSNBC becoming a Fox News for our side.

Truth is, it's damn difficult to report on Trumpdom without appearing leftist by default. With a normal Presidency I want balanced reporting-- and I think she can do that.

their shenanigans. I believe they put up with him in the beginning because they thought they could control him to get all their dirty work done. It blew up in their face.
They are not going to stop being scum. Maybe, just maybe, they will realize the next person they put up can't be a racist imbecile conman - but they will not stop working for big businesses and possibly foreign powers, and making our lives miserable. There will still be lots to discuss.

Nichole Wallace surely can.

She will turn Republican because they want to change the party image.
She will surely criticize Biden. If it’s constructive criticism she’ll be fine. I think she can pull it off.
