christian, your reaction to the maureen dowd column. is in the caboose of a train that left the station. >> she is no longer a leading light of the left, is she. biden is turning 80 in november, so we'll have presumably disappointing midterm elections in mid-november, it would perhaps make sense for him to exit january 20th and kamala harris could have two years in office and perhaps have a better chance of keeping the democrats in the white house in 2024. the problem is, it's sort of like the soviet union in the time before they finally landed on gorbachf. they kept propping people up. democrats talk about what are alternatives to biden and harris you get people like mayor pete. they don't talk about the moderates they have, so right now it's idle chat but it's sort of serious. we may have a presidential transition a lot sooner than a lot of us had expected. dagen: mike, do you think that's even a possibility? >> i mean, look, in a serious note, we don't know that joe biden will even be alive to run again. i mean, he's in serious cogni

maureen dowd has a column out today that says, hey, joe, go out on a high note. he could leave on a high knowing he's delivered on his promise. it would be self-after facing and patriotic to the self-ab boshed an treasonous trump. many democrats are hedging on this question of whether joe biden should remain on the ticket. >> this drum beat has been going on for a while. i think going up to the midterms and after the midterms. this is going to be a big argument that will be had within the democratic party because you have the president repeatedly saying he intends to run for re-election. fewer and fewer people, a, believe that, or b, think it's a good idea. when you have a lot of people within the party, people potentially close to the president taking this line, he's going to have to answer it more and more, particularly after the midterms. >> i think one of the most interesting things maureen writes in this column, she talks about what biden was elected to do. she's talking about the legislation and notable achievements saying that's really what voters wanted t

maureen dowd says that this winning streak is exactly the right time for the president to step aside, declare victory and clear the way for a new generation of democrats, what's your response to that argument? >> well, george, all the democrats who are coming to these bill signings i hope are going to sign up to continue to support our president. you're right, i was one of folks who was first in supporting now president biden when he was candidate biden and i think he's done good things for our country, i think he has a strong record of accomplishments to run on. all the different initiatives that i just talked about here at home. but also real leadership on the world stage, he pulled together our nato allies, our european partners to stand up to russian aggression in ukraine and he strengthened our alliances in the indo-pacific, so frankly, i'm hopeful that president biden will run again. if he does i'll certainly support him. >> are you encouraging him to run again. >> i'm encouraging him to focus on what's in front of us. american families, the conversations that they have at night

. >> there you have it matt dowd is back with us. tell us about what you heard from voters about what they're thinking when it comes to our democracy. >> sure, to answer your question maybe some of the viewers want to know, we went to new hampshire and we're gonna go to the other states, arizona, michigan, other states that are key and what's going to happen in this election cycle. new hampshire has always been traditionally a canary in the coal mine about what is happening in america. new hampshire has a key swing stun it race. a two key swing house race, one of the house races in new hampshire,, chris purposes race, went for bush twice, one for obama twice, went for trump and then went for biden. it is a great indicator of what's gonna happen on election night. i think many people have made the assumption because of gas prices and inflation that's all people want to talk about. once you get past that, and people aren't happy about that, especially you talk to the voters who don't like donald trump and haven't been satisfied with jo

. >> let me ask you, this was a maw reern dowd column last sunday saying he shouldn't run. weakens you, but in biden's case it could strengthen him. we live in a washington where people too often put power over principle. sao many republicans have behaved grotesque out of the fear that trump will turn on them. the act of leaving could elevate biden, freeing him from typical re-election pressures so his team could do what they really thought was right or political expedience. is it possible if he decides not to run as a lame-duck president he wouldn't be so lame, better for him not to be running for re-election. >> here's the thing with that argument, jon, first of all, he intends to run, we're not focused on 2024. we're focused on the moment right now, 2022, this president passed american rescue plan with all democrats, passed a bipartisan infrastructure legislation which people said would not happen. >> he has a lot of legislation. >> the chips act, made in america, manufacturing jobs and let's not forget what we were able to do for veterans, right, which is our obligation

. >> something getting a lot of buzz this morning is "the new york times" columnist maureen dowd sayingand ride off into the sunset. the timing of your exit can determine your place in the history books. this is the moment for biden to decide if all of this is fuel for re-election campaign when he will be 81, 82 on inauguration day, or a legacy on which to rest. >> first, i would say if joe biden runs for president, i will support him. i also think we really have to see what happens this november because there are inflation is on the ballot, we know gas prices are going down, so i think that will afect people's bottom line, we also know issues like gun reform, yes, they passed a bipartisan bill, but we still are seeing mass shootings, abortion, child care, all of these things that actually do impact people's bottom line are on the ballot as well. and while joe biden's approval rating might be low, he's not on the ballot this november. there are members of congress, there is a senate and if we can actually expand the margins, and a lot of people, i remember, a couple of months ago, we ta

maureen dowd is the latest. she will regret writing this.ne and sober observers will not lower inflation or by 1/3 of one point according to white house economic team. joe biden, so many columnists, so many newspapers wasn't too old during the 2020 campaign was giving as you clear preview after guy who lost the fastball about it was 45 miles an hour at its peak. maureen dowd and other writers have the epiphany. they wrote this mostly because they're activists. they want democrats to win back the white house in 2024. doesn't matter who the candidate is. "new york times" has not endorsed a republican presidential candidate in 66 years. endorsing ma govern, carter, mondale, dukakis. go back to eisenhower before you were born, stu, to find a republican they like. joe biden at age 82 is seen by voters in poll after poll too slow, more importantly too slow and too old to respond to crises on his watch, inflation, gas prices, you call obviously the taliban and afghanistan and border, just he is behind the eight ball. seems on everything. stuart: ag

and with me on set, matt dowd, political strategist as well as an msnbc contributor.ou're out there in arizona right now. give us a feeling on the ground. >> you know, we're looking at a potential sweep of these trump endorsed candidates. if in fact a lot of these trump voters that were new to the political scene here, alicia, in 2020 not only come out for a mid-term but willing to come out for a primary in the middle of august, that is the question mark. that is exactly what keri lake needs to pull this off. it's not just her but also mark finchem as well as abe humade running for attorney general who's echoed those sentiments as well here. there's a lot of question marks. all the campaigns i talked to there's a lot of ways we could explain whatever result comes out here, but ultimately this is situation i think it's important to note that keri lake is already propagating the idea there is supposed fraud and, quote, irregularities in this primary. we heard donald trump do this ahead of his 2020 election bid, and she's doing that, going around the state suggesting if

and a couple of the smart -- of your smart colleagues like david plouffe and matthew dowd were on and. as does the houses thing, right? that he's rich and elitist and out of touch. but the thing that the fetterman campaign is really trying to tag him with is that he's weird. do you think that, like, this is the -- that these things are kind of contributing to this picture that weird does not play? weird and elitist, particularly, does not play in pennsylvania, and they're getting to a good job of illustrating that? >> yeah, really well. weird and not pennsylvanian. he's carrying a very strong, very clear message, both on paid advertising in pennsylvania and on social media, and oz is -- has no narrative at all, right? like, what is dr. oz's narrative against fetterman? it's not like there aren't potential weaknesses that fetterman has. but right now, this campaign is completely being run from an area of fetterman's strength, his authenticity, as somebody who is pennsylvanian and cares about pennsylvania, and dr. oz is being kind of this weird interloper who doesn't understand the penn

the latest is maureen dowd. don't give it a go. country really needs to dodge a combat by trump with the rise of the odious ron desantis. there is a growing sense in the democratic party that it will require new blood. if the president made his plans now, he couldn't leave time for a fresh and inspiring candidate to emerge. he and his team could do what they thought was right rather than what was politically expedient. i will start with you. guest: with friends like these. i don't know why anybody would make themselves a lame-duck before the midterms have even happened. that's just not politically smart for the administration, for our party. it does not give us a chance to sort through a field. i think we have tons of talent in this party that could come about. what we need to do now is focus on these midterms. the pressures she's referring to , sometimes that keeps you on the ball a little bit. you have to think about what's your next election. nobody should make themselves a lame-duck at this early into presidency. people who thi
