Morning Joe gloats over reports of a number of Donald Trump's previous megadonors announcing that they will no longer support him. While repeatedly describing Trump as a "loser," the panel also paints Ron DeSantis as a viable alternative for donors and the Republican establishment. 

After we noted Thursday that CNN's Don Lemon argued DeSantis could be even worse than Trump, the DeSantis smears shifted Friday to MSNBC’s Morning Joe thanks to Republican-turned-Never Trump-turned liberal David Jolly, who trashed DeSantis as having “used" Trump with a fragile ego.

In light of Ron DeSantis' overwhelming victory in Florida, in which he even carried traditional Democrat stronghold Miama-Dade, Morning Joe taunts Donald Trump, saying "this is Ron DeSantis' party now."

On NBC's Sunday Today, senior Washington correspondent Hallie Jackson joined host Willie Geist in fearmongering that Republican campaign ads featuring candidates carrying or shooting guns while promising to protect the Second Amendment rights of all Americans could be leading to violent attacks on Democrat politicians.

On Morning Joe, a consensus among Joe Scarborough, Willie Geist, and Elise Jordan that crime is the key issue in the 2022 midterms.

On its show of October 4th, Morning Joe devotes over 15 minutes to the story that Herschel Walker, who has taken a strong pro-life position, once paid for a girlfriend's abortion. Walker has flatly denied the allegation. Morning Joe makes frequent mention of Walker's alleged "hypocrisy."

On Morning Joe, retired Admiral James Stavridis, commenting on Putin's chaotic call-up of 300,000 conscripts, came up with a truly strange metaphor, saying: "This is like pulling a bunch of bartenders off of Fifth Avenue, and sending them out to the front lines. It's not going to work."

On Morning Joe, Mika Brzezinski says that Republican policies on immigration aren't "Christian," and might backfire on the GOP.

On Morning Joe, Joe Scarborough admits there's a border crisis, but accuses Republican governors of engaging in "grotesque" human trafficking by bussing and flying migrants to northern locations.

Hillary Clinton took her Apple TV Gutsy promotional tour to the Thursday-taped edition Late Night with Seth Meyers on NBC where Meyers wondered why Republicans are such hypocrites on classified materials.

Morning Joe fails to identify as a Democrat the man charged with the murder of a Las Vegas investigative reporter, and spends only 47 seconds on the story.
