Just one day before the 2024 presidential election, MSNBC’s Jen Psaki declared that Donald Trump’s “closing message” at his multiple weekend rallies proved that his campaign seemed “to be losing oxygen, fast.”
Psaki played clips of Trump’s “dark” comments in Pennsylvania, first where he said he “wouldn’t mind” if someone would “shoot through the fake news”; then when he claimed, “We had the safest border in the history of our country the day that I left. I shouldn’t have left.”
Psaki then moved on to Trump’s comments in North Carolina that she called “confusing” and “very hard to follow.”
“When you watch this next moment, there are two things I want you to keep in mind,” Psaki said. “The first thing is that Donald Trump is speaking in North Carolina. The second is that the guy he clearly thinks is present at his rally is a senate candidate in Pennsylvania.”
Psaki played the clip of Trump asking if the Pennsylvania candidate David McCormick (R) was “around someplace” at the North Carolina rally.
“No, he’s not around someplace,” Psaki said, “because, of course, David McCormick is running for senate in a state hundreds of miles away. The state of Pennsylvania. And, again, Trump was in North Carolina.” She continued:
So, let’s, just to recap here: over the past few hours, Trump has been musing about violence against the press, saying that he shouldn’t have left office, and mixing up what state he’s speaking in, which is all quite the closing message.
So, I’ve said it before, and I will keep saying it: nobody knows how this thing is going to turn out, but I think it is safe to say that one campaign does seem to be closing this thing out very strong, and one seems to be losing oxygen, fast.
Next on the screen, MSNBC displayed a Mediacom/Des Moines Register poll showing Kamala Harris with 47% of the vote in Iowa and Trump with 44%.
