On Morning Joe, Joe Scarborough clings to an article by Nate Cohn of the New York Times to keep hope alive for Biden's chances in the 2024 election.

Actor and alleged comedian John Leguizamo joined Tuesday’s edition of The Daily Show on Comedy Central to have a calm and rational, adult-like reaction to polling that shows Donald Trump leading among Latinos.
