Trump gets the loyalty President Biden deserves. President Biden gets the scrutiny trump deserves. President Biden could ride a unicycle while juggling chain saws. It wouldn't matter. WTF

[@FamilyAcrivos-w6d]

Please tell us how can we spread the news to everyone Mr. Biden COVID infection has to be acknowledged does not affect reasoning necessary to lead he has shown for many years

[@FamilyAcrivos-w6d]

We need Jonathan Capehart to defend us against the depression instilled by negative attitudes. He has succeeded many challenges, we need to hear more about them

[@terrialexander2588]

Start supporting best option!

[@terrialexander2588]

Keep Biden and Harris! The name are known Keep Biden with Harris! Biden CANT withdraw! His name is known positively for those not following the news!!!

[@jaredmouradian8736]

Been a fan of Jonathan’s for years. Surprised to see him brushing off the concerns that are so obvious to 80% of the country. Its not a cute look

[@deansapp4635]

Caphehart is a affirmative action hack and a racist

[@winyanwashte2888]

Rural Oregonian listening:Thanks, Capehart. Rubin is dead-on. Know what we call the reporters, editors and pundits she describes as "bored" and writing/speaking for clicks? We call 'em "click whores". Many of us have learned since 2016 to pay no attention to polls on anything but policy, and many of us don't respond at all when contacted re polling/trolling candidates. cheers.

It only matter what WE THE PEOPLE think!!! Not all these media or congress or the elites say

[@artesanic]

Polls are mute!! If they would tell you the number of people polled that would make a difference

[@stephenkenney5708]

Lol….delusional! Capehart is a major lightweight!

[@terrialexander2588]

Discuss what a better option there is. We need KNOW names!

[@jimmykelly5320]

Yay!! Been missing First Look.

[@FRANCENEKELLY]

Jonathan, especially if Kamala Harris IS the nominee...

[@mellifluouspurr8409]

Bravo Ms. Rubin!

[@justinleemiller]

Drop out. The RNC will have no one to attack for 4 days at the convention.

[@FRANCENEKELLY]

No Kamala coronation, please. What an unfortunate, shortsighted idea. Let her earn the nomination, if she can. There is a rich bench of good to great potential candidates who could actually excite the voters. Do you really want a repeat of the Hubert Humphrey fiasco? Like Kamala, he was the VP too. How did that work out?

[@jennyfulcher8035]

Thank you Jonathon Capehart for an excellent discussion! I whole-heartedly agree that the Democrats need to stop fussing on Biden's age and poor debate performance and do all that they can to defeat Trump. And I agree with Jennifer Rubin that the free press should stop being in it for the "clicks" and instead focus on the real danger that another Trump presidency, combined with Project 2025, would pose to our democracy and to the world if he's re-elected. Vote Biden/Harris 2024 💙 Defeat Trump, MAGA, and Project 2025!

[@terrialexander2588]

Keep Biden and Harris! The name are known Keep Biden with Harris!

[@terrialexander2588]

Dem looses with just Harris!

[@kevinjones5457]

Trump / JFK, Jr. 2024! 🇺🇲
