MSNBC's Mika Brzezinski has expressed some doubt about President Biden's chances of securing the Democratic nomination, saying that he "may or may not be" the candidate to face former President Trump in 2024.
MSNBC's "Morning Joe" co-host Mika Brzezinski has hinted at her doubts about President Biden's ability to secure the Democratic nomination for the 2024 presidential election. Brzezinski, who has been a vocal supporter of Biden in the past, admitted that he "may or may not be" the party's nominee.
Brzezinski's comments came in the wake of reports that former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi had confronted Biden about his dismal poll numbers. Pelosi, who is said to be working behind the scenes to find a replacement for Biden, reportedly told him that he could not defeat Trump.

Brzezinski expressed trust in Pelosi's political acumen, saying that "nobody knows politics more than her." She also acknowledged Biden's recent poor performance in debates and his declining poll numbers.
"The Dems need to get it together... The focus should be on Donald Trump," Brzezinski said. "you know, it may or may not be Joe Biden."

Brzezinski's shift in tone is significant, as Biden is an avid viewer of the "Morning Joe" program and has called in to declare his intention to remain in the race. In the past, Brzezinski has defended Biden's campaign despite his setbacks.
Brzezinski's co-host and husband, Joe Scarborough, also weighed in on the issue. Scarborough urged Biden to listen to the advice of party lawmakers and consider stepping aside.

Scarborough criticized Biden's inner circle for shielding him from advice that could benefit him. He warned that the situation could deteriorate if Biden continues to ignore concerns about his viability.
Pelosi's efforts to replace Biden reflect growing concern among Democratic lawmakers about the party's chances of defeating Trump. A Politico report indicated that Pelosi has been actively seeking a way to ease Biden off the ticket, believing that he will lose.
Biden's recent debate performance against Trump was widely regarded as a disaster, and his poll numbers have plummeted since then. Pelosi's confrontation with Biden highlights the increasing pressure on the president to reconsider his candidacy.
It remains to be seen whether Biden will heed the warnings of his party colleagues. However, Brzezinski's admission that he "may or may not be" the Democratic nominee suggests that the momentum is shifting away from the president.
