MSNBC's Nicolle Wallace shows a political video she says should be all over TV immediately
President Joe Biden took to a North Carolina stage with a fiery speech after a widely criticized debate.
It was the kind of vintage Biden that left MSNBC host Nicolle Wallace with demands of the campaign.
"That should be cut into an ad, and it should be the most money they've spent on TV so far. That should be running on every swing state digital and broadcast TV by tomorrow morning. That is a person who could win. And I think a lot of Democrats, to Cornell's [Belcher] point, ran away from the president after coming to the conclusion that the person they saw last night wasn't."
Rev. Al Sharpton demanded the ad be put on immediately, not tomorrow.

"Yes!" Wallace exclaimed.
Sharpton went on to say that Biden's story is a story of someone who is constantly knocked down and had to come back up.
"I got calls all night," he said. "And I kept saying to them, do you have a short memory? Just a few years ago, to be exact, 3 1/2 years ago, I happened to be in Charleston, South Carolina, after the Democratic debate, having breakfast, and all of the candidates came. Joe Biden had just entered the race, and he was beaten in New Hampshire, and Jim Clyburn and him hooked up, and he took off. "
Wallace confessed that as a member of the media, she and others have "spent almost a grotesque amount of time trying to understand the bond of [Donald] Trump and his base. And compared to that very small amount of time to understand Joe Biden's tie to his."
What Rev. Sharpton was getting at, she said, is "something that has been missed by the, sort of, elite media, is that people see themselves in Joe Biden's resilience and having to overcome to stutter. They see him in the agony of losing a child, a wife, and a daughter and in parenting someone who struggles with the disease of addiction."
Now, I don't think anyone can see themselves in him having to watch his own government prosecute his own son and then saying that he loves this country so much and the rule of law that he won't pardon him; that's almost next level. But there is something we miss about the voters and the Biden base's ties to Biden that I think is really underscored by that clip from today's speech."
