Why the U.S. Executive Office watches Joe Scarborough & Mika Brzezinski on ‘Morning Joe’ daily

President Joe Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris, and most of their top aides are avid watchers of MSNBC’s Morning Joe, hosted by JOE SCARBOROUGH and MIKA BRZEZINSKI. One White House official reported that much of President Biden’s support staff feel that Morning Joe is the fairest media outlet. According to Axios, “The president often calls co-host Joe Scarborough — a former Republican congressman… to get Scarborough's take on issues.”

Their even-keeled interview style has granted Scarborough and Brzezinski unprecedented access to the Oval Office. Scarborough conducted a touching personal interview with President Biden, and Brzezinski sat down with First Lady Jill Biden to discuss the demands and challenges of  running a presidential campaign. Skilled political commentators, knowledgeable interviewers, and effective moderators, Scarborough and Brzezinski are at the helm of today’s most influential political news.

Mika Brzezinski helps women find and communicate their value through her bestselling books, Know Your Value initiative, and her work with Forbes

Mika is a champion for women of all ages, through her women's empowerment Know Your Value initiative and her seven best-selling books. In her book Comeback Careers, part of her three-book Know Your Value seriesMIKA BRZEZINSKI encourages women in their 40's, 50's and beyond to know their value and teaches them how to communicate it effectively. For women seeking a comeback career after down-shifting or even dropping out of the workforce, Mika offers a how-to in owning choices with no regrets, marketing wisdom and skills in the current job environment (virtual jobs, hello!), and being prepared- since "relevancy trumps age." She worked with Forbes to launch their inaugural 50 Over 50 List to celebrate and shine a light on 50 diverse women over the age of 50 who have achieved significant success later in life, often by overcoming formidable odds or barriers. This is not a list of women from Forbes' famous 30 Under 30 list who have aged up, but rather a list of women who knew their value and harnessed it into success starting on 'the inspiring side' of 50. Vice President Kamala Harris and Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi were two of the recipients, and Brzezinski interviewed both for MSNBC about the 50 over 50 list and their career trajectory.
