Morning Joe

Just visit ms.now slash membership to join us.

Pindell explains why straight ahead on Morning Joe.

Well, that's a pretty shot.

West Palm Beach, Florida, 825 in the morning on this Friday morning, the Friday before Election Day.

Fascinating stuff.

Thank you again.

Still ahead here on Morning Joe, the 2026 elections could reset the Republican Party and leave Democrats divided.

That's the argument from political reporter for The Boston Globe, James Pindell.

time.

Back to Morning Joe.

It's Friday, October 30th.

Jonathan Lemire, Claire McCaskill and Steve Ratnner are all still with us and joining the conversation.

All right.

Steve Ratnner, thank you very, very much.

And still ahead on Morning Joe, we're going to hear from some candidates who will be on the ballot next week.

Independent nominee for U.S. Senate in South Dakota.

Laura, we weren't planning on having you.

Okay, thank you, Morning Joe.

Joe Scarborough mocking the president.

I'm sure the president tuned in and that's where we're going back to Kansas and we're going to Iowa.

these extra candidates are always trouble for republicans always and that's the case in kansas as well so it's going to be double tough for roger marshall if he loses three or four percent of the vote to a libertarian candidate and and people that are libertarian out there apparently they want adam hamilton because if you're voting for the libertarian candidate you're just inviting adam hamilton to be your center senator and it makes no sense to me hamilton for his part has commented on the president canceling yesterday in Salina, saying, quote, the president has given up on Roger Marshall.

Joe Scarborough on Morning Joe this morning said the president is lying about canceling Kansas.

It's a total lie why he canceled.

The race is lost, and he's got people in the Republican Party telling him for over a week that Kansas is shot and it's over, and that's why Trump isn't coming.

Okay, thank you, Morning Joe.

I think AI is going to be one of the biggest issues.

John, I was on Morning Joe with historian John Meacham a couple weeks ago.

And Meacham had the most interesting point, which goes to your youth point, which is when you think about in the 13 years from when Trump descended down the golden staircase or golden escalator to when he leaves office will be the Trump era.

We'll call it the Trump era, Trumpism era.

I'll

be in New York on a variety of different things.

And then I'm doing the next morning with Morning Joe to figure out the results.

So Joe Scarborough and I are going to go out the next morning.

Well, now why isn't President Trump going to Kansas? Well, look at this.

Morning Joe, got to be the least reliable source in the world, says Republicans have been telling him off the record, behind the scenes, that the race has been gone for a week.

It's hopeless.

Now, that could be possible, although I guarantee you, Morning Joe has the worst sources in the world.

But to suddenly not go to Kansas means either they're so far ahead, doesn't need to go to Kansas, or they're so far behind, it's hopeless and you don't want to endorse the guy if he's definitely going to lose.

Even though he's not going to Kansas, he is doing a tele-rally, and I notice he's doing radio interviews on the big morning shows in Kansas City Radio.
