macron is going to get a narrow plurality in the first place. did you say narrow? narrow. what matters is the second phase in late april. my guess is macron will win not by a landslide but narrowly. he hasn t been a good candidate. he has been missing in action, unsuccessful statesman. she has been more on the ground as a candidate. he is trying to associate her with putinism, essentially saying it is not hard there, is it? no, there s actually a bit of truth there. pretty easy. my guess is that he wins but not a landslide. still ahead on morning joe, we have so much more to get to this morning. how does mitch mcconnell square with calling donald trump morally responsible with the january assault on the capital and said he will support him if he wins the party s nomination in 2024. here s the thing. that s a tough one. yeah, it doesn t mean jonathan swan doesn t ask him over and over again. i appreciated the question.
