Barnicle and Doris Kearns Goodwin on restoring optimism to the U.S.

“Doris, we’ve spoken about the two closing arguments. One on the downside; one of the upside; one sort of the cloudy, rainy day, and the other a sunshiny day. How long do you think it takes for a president, any president, but an incoming president of the United States, to restore a sense of optimism about the future of America? Because it’s been run down continually by one of the candidates. How long does it take, and what does a president have to do taking office to restore confidence in the future of this country?” asks veteran columnist Mike Barnicle of presidential historian Doris Kearns Goodwin who joins Morning Joe on Election Day in the United States as millions of Americans head to the polls to cast ballots for Vice President Kamala Harris or former President Donald Trump, who repeatedly referred to America as a “third-world country” this election cycle. Listen to Goodwin’s response here. Only on MSNBC.
