'Race is tied': Morning Joe smacks down David Axelrod and 'pod bros' undermining Biden

On Wednesday morning, MSNBC's "Morning Joe' co-host Joe Scarborough lashed out a Democratic campaign consultants and "pod bro" insiders for continuing to undermine President Joe Biden, who is going forward with his 2024 presidential bid.

Sharing graphics of the latest polls taken weeks after Biden's disastrous debate performance on CNN, the MSNBC host pointed out that the election remains tied — just as it was before the debate.

Using the numbers, he took aim — while also singling out longtime Democratic strategist David Axelrod — at Democratic insiders who are continuing to try to force Biden to step aside.

"Now, we hear from Democrats on the inside, see also Obama supporters, saying there's no way he can win, he's down so low, it's all over," he began. "Well here's the latest Morning Consult poll taken on Monday. Last week, before the tragic assassination attempt, Donald Trump was up by two points. On Monday — it's just a snapshot — Donald Trump up by one point."

"Here's the deal, everybody, if you're looking at this, don't look at the margins, look at the fact that it's a tie. This race is tied," he said before later adding, "'Oh, we must do something,' David Axelrod says on CNN. 'There's no way he can win' said the pod bros,' 'Oh, it's all over.'"

"The Democrats have got to either fish or cut bait," he advised. "Like if they can't drive Joe Biden from the race, they need to line up behind Joe Biden. Because there's no middle ground here ... you're either united or your side loses. They've got to make decisions fast. All of these stories about Nancy Pelosi furiously going around trying to undermine Joe Biden — it's not working. I mean, I don't even know if that's true."
