Aug 24, 2026 · 38m
Summary
Morning Joe analyzes President Trump’s record-low approval ratings, attributing them to unpopular trade wars with Canada, the Iran conflict, and perceived corruption. The panel discusses Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney’s defiant stance and the political risks for Republicans in the upcoming midterms. Additionally, the show covers proposed changes to the 2030 Census, new sanctions on Iran, and features an interview with Bon Appétit’s editor-in-chief about the year’s best new restaurants.
