“Ed, I don’t think anyone would quibble with what you wrote today in your assessment of the Biden presidency; but that’s today. It’s a snapshot. It’s not history. Don’t you think that history’s view of Joe Biden is going to be a little bit different than your view of Joe Biden in today’s piece that you’ve written, in the sense that it’s going to take into account Joe Biden’s role in keeping NATO together, in keeping Ukraine alive, in the day to day tug of war match that he’s had with Bibi Netanyahu for a year and a half, and most importantly, the economic underpinnings of legislation that he passed on a bipartisan basis in the first 18 months of his presidency that are going to transform many middle class cities and towns in this country over a longer period of time? Not today, not yet, but within 2 or 3 years, AI and all of the chip manufacturing that’s going to happen in this country is going to transform and help a lot of American families,” asks veteran columnist Mike Barnicle of Financial Times US national editor Edward Luce, who joins Morning Joe to discuss his latest piece titled “Joe Biden’s tragic curtain call,” which argues hubris kept Biden too long in the presidential race and he will be remembered chiefly for easing Donald Trump’s return. Hear Luce’s response here.
