Scarborough: It’s Never Going To Look Like Beatlemania When Biden Steps Off a Plane Going to an Event; Biden Is About Normalcy

McCaskill: “Yeah, and don’t forget, we have Senate candidates in those states too. And they are doing remarkably well. If this is all about changing parties, somebody needs to let the folks that are responding to polls in Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Michigan, Nevada, let them know that those Senate candidates support the same policies that President Biden has embraced. And you know, last night, Joe, I was looking really carefully, it’s really interesting to see which party is going to be more extreme, because typically, the party that is most extreme has the most difficulty in these states that swing back and forth. You look at what happened in Oregon last night, where you had a very progressive candidates from local DA in Portland, all the way to two open congressional seats. And the moderates won. They swept the table.”
SCARBOROUGH: “Wow!”
McCaskill: “So I think that what you’re seeing here is a coming home to understanding that Joe Biden is a decent man with loads of integrity. And for those swing voters, that’s going to matter. And the more Donald Trump talks, he is way more extreme today than he was ever in 2016 or 2020. He is saying things that he didn’t even think about saying back in those elections.”
BRZEZINSKI: “Oh, that’s right.”
McCaskill: “And the more he’s out there, the more it’s going to help Joe Biden.”
SCARBOROUGH: “Far more extreme, again, Joe Biden, you know, it’s never going to look like Beatlemania when Joe Biden steps off a plane going to an event. Joe Biden’s — Joe Biden’s about normalcy. And by the way, if you don’t think that’s a winning message in ‘24 you’re not talking to the right voters, who even if they voted for Trump in ‘16 are exhausted now. I do want to say, Mika, following up on what Claire said, let’s compare what happened in Oregon last night which thank God, they voted in some moderate DAs. Thank God after the chaos in Oregon over the past eight years maybe they’re — they’re returning to the middle. I mean, they’re already like, you know, handing out, you know, heroin and gum machines up there. You know, it’s just absolute lunacy, lunacy. And so thank God, the voters said enough of that. And we want moderate DAs. We want a moderate approach. We actually want to hold criminals, you know, responsible for crimes. So that’s important. But we can go from Oregon on this extremism to North Carolina. I never thought I would say this. But the extremism of the Republican Party in North Carolina and the gubernatorial candidate, and I think their candidates for commissioner of education, I don’t know if I have that title right are so extreme.”
BRZEZINSKI: “Yeah.”
SCARBOROUGH: “They actually have put North Carolina into play, which I would have told you three months ago was not possible.”
