Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis is emerging as the favorite for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination, and MSNBC's Joe Scarborough explained why he's overtaking Donald Trump as the GOP leader.

A recent straw poll showed DeSantis leading Trump as the preferred candidate in the next presidential election, and the "Morning Joe" host said there were other signs that Republicans and conservative media are moving on without the former president.

MSNBC's Joe Scarborough explained that "radical" Republicans were blowing their chances at retaking congressional majorities with "crazy" positions on abortion and civil war.

A new poll from the Washington Post and ABC News showed voters preferred a generic Democratic candidate over a Republican in the midterm elections, in a 10-point reversal from a similar poll last month, and the "Morning Joe" host blamed the shift on GOP extremism.

MSNBC's Joe Scarborough laughed about reports showing former President Donald Trump was unhappy with the work ethic of one of the Republican candidates he had endorsed.

The former president has reportedly washed his hands of David Perdue, the former GOP senator who's running for Georgia governor on a platform based on Trump's election lies, but he won't be lending any more support as his low-effort campaigns sinks ahead of next week's primary.

MSNBC's Mika Brzezinski cringed at George W. Bush's "Freudian slip" on Iraq.

The former president gave a speech Wednesday at the Bush Center at Southern Methodist University, where he compared Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky to Winston Churchill, and he inadvertently condemned his own actions nearly 20 years ago that resulted in nearly 4,500 American troops killed and the deaths of countless Iraqis.

MSNBC's Joe Scarborough predicted Donald Trump would help Mehmet Oz cheat in his tight Republican primary campaign, and hours later, the former president did exactly that.

The "Morning Joe" host was off Thursday, the day after he made the quickly realized prediction, but other panelists noted that Scarborough and co-host Willie Geist correctly speculated that Trump would lie about the too-close-to-call Pennsylvania GOP Senate primary as the votes were still being counted.

Former President Donald Trump is moving into position to steal the 2024 election with some assistance from Republican primary voters.

The former president has backed loyalists who have endorsed his lies about his 2020 election loss, and GOP voters have picked a number of them to move on to November's general election, although NBC News correspondent Vaughn Hillyard pointed out that Trump's endorsement wasn't enough for every candidate.

The Department of Justice may have sidestepped the legal battles that have slowed the House Select Committee's investigation of the Jan. 6 insurrection.

Federal authorities opened a new direction in their criminal probe by requesting transcripts of interviews conducted by congressional investigators, and MSNBC legal analyst Glenn Kirschner explained why that move was "savvy."

The Department of Justice has asked for transcripts of interviews conducted by the House select committee, and a legal expert explained how that shows the criminal investigation of Jan. 6 has moved out into the open.

The pace of the DOJ probe of the insurrection has reportedly frustrated the White House, but MSNBC legal analyst Barbara McQuade told "Morning Joe" the request for evidence collected by congressional investigators shows federal authorities have widened the scope of their criminal investigation.

MSNBC's Joe Scarborough and John Heilemann on Tuesday discussed how Donald Trump's preferred candidates would put Republican chances in jeopardy for taking back the U.S. Senate majority.

The former president has endorsed loyalists -- including J.D. Vance in Ohio, Herschel Walker in Georgia and Mehmet Oz in Pennsylvania -- in races around the country, and the "Morning Joe" host said they're unlikely to win Democratic votes and might not excite enough Republican voters.

MSNBC's Joe Scarborough shamed former House speaker Paul Ryan and other Fox News board members for allowing top-rated host Tucker Carlson to spew white nationalist slogans.

The "Morning Joe" host earlier on Monday obliquely blamed "a powerful cable news network" for a racist gun massacre in Buffalo, but he later explicitly blamed Carlson and Fox News for promoting the white nationalist "replacement theory" and other extremist ideas.

MSNBC's Joe Scarborough blamed a certain cable news network for a white supremacist who gunned down 10 Black shoppers at a Buffalo grocery store.

The shooter posted a lengthy manifesto online before driving more than two hours to Tops Friendly Markets, which he targeted because it was located in a predominately Black neighborhood, and the "Morning Joe" host said his hateful screed matched racist theories promoted by conservative broadcasters.

Panelists on MSNBC's "Morning Joe" bashed Attorney General Merrick Garland for taking a methodical approach to prosecuting former President Donald Trump's allies for refusing to comply with congressional subpoenas.

The House Select Committee this week issued five subpoenas to five GOP lawmakers -- House minority leader Kevin McCarthy, Reps. Andy Biggs (R-AZ), Mo Brooks (R-AL), Jim Jordan (R-OH) and Scott Perry (R-PA) -- but they have made clear they intend to defy those orders, just as Trump ally Mark Meadows has done with no real consequences.

Former President Donald Trump's endorsed candidate is struggling in the Pennsylvania Republican Senate primary, but MSNBC's Joe Scarborough said voters don't have any good choices in that race.

Right-wing commentator Kathy Barnette is surging against the Trump-endorsed Dr. Mehmet Oz and MAGA candidate David McCormick, and the "Morning Joe" host said the former president's endorsed candidates were upending Senate races across the country and endangering GOP chances in November.
