An MSNBC guest suggested on Sunday that the coming days could be marked by “high-level resignations” in President Joe Biden’s orbit.

The comments came from Mark Leibovich, former New York Times Magazine’s chief national correspondent, during an appearance on MSNBC’s “Inside with Jen Psaki,” where he spoke with the former White House Press Secretary about Biden’s precarious position going into the 2024 presidential election.

Pointing to Biden’s disastrous debate performance and his less-than-stellar follow-up interview with ABC News anchor George Stephanopoulos, Leibovich said that he would not be surprised to see people around the president make their way to the nearest exit.

Explaining that Democrats in the House and Senate might stick by Biden despite his apparent difficulties, he argued that those in advisory positions might be less likely to stick around.

“Joe Biden has given very, very few opportunities to be seen, and I think that — another thing I would point out in the next coming days as we go into the week — is not so much Capitol Hill, but I mean, there could be some pretty high level resignations around Biden, whether on the campaign or maybe in the White House or the administration or something,” he said.

“I mean, that quote in the New York Times piece that you alluded to, and again, people like us look closely at the criminology of this,” he continued. “But … this is … the walls seem to be coming in very closely, and I think after the debate he had one really good thing going for him, which was time. He seems to have wasted almost two weeks at this point.”

Psaki also came down relatively harshly on her former boss, saying that it was unclear to her what the best move might be for Biden going forward.

“The questions I’m getting the most are: What’s going to happen? And what is the best path forward? I won’t tell you I know the answer to either question. No one does,” she said.

CNN pundit Scott Jennings argued on Sunday that President Joe Biden conceded that his campaign message about saving democracy is nothing but a “facade.”

During a discussion on “State of the Union,” in which Jennings appeared with other panelists, the GOP strategist alluded to Biden’s interview on Friday after his poor debate performance against former President Donald Trump fueled concerns among supporters and others about his fitness to run and serve a second term.

In a clip that aired earlier in the segment, ABC News anchor George Stephanopoulos asked, “If you stay in and Trump is elected and everything you’re warning about comes to pass, how will you feel in January?” Biden, in response, said “as long as I gave it my all” that is “what this is about.”

Jennings asked if the panel could “talk about an issue” from the debate on Friday night.

“The entire thesis of the campaign was ‘democracy is on the ballot,'” Jennings said. “And when George Stephanopoulos asked him, ‘Well, if you lose and all these bad things come to pass, will you be okay with that?’ And he said, ‘Well, as long as we gave it our all.'”

Jennings continued, “Now, if I was a Democrat who hasn’t blinked since January of 2017 or one of these Never Trumpers who’s worried about all this and I heard Joe Biden admit that it’s all just a facade, that it’s all just a talking point, I would be freaked out right now to find out there’s no animating issue for this campaign. It’s just a grift.”

A rush transcript shows two other guests on the panel, Democratic strategist Doug Thornell and Rep. Debbie Dingell (D-MI), pushed back on the critique from Jennings.

“An animating issue? It’s about character. It’s about your candidate, who is a convicted felon, who is a twice-impeached president, who is only out for himself, versus an honest and decent man who’s always put the American people first. That is the issue,” Thornell said.

Dingell added, “Who says he wants to be a dictator,” alluding to Trump’s pledge to be a “dictator” only on the first day of his second term in order to tackle issues such as border security and drilling for energy.

Shermichael Singleton, a conservative political commentator at CNN, got in a word before a commercial break.

“The problem for the Democrats is viability. The president currently is not viable,” he said.
