‘A Tale Of Two Roll Calls’: Morning Joe Opens With Supercut Contrasting RNC With DNC ‘Party’

Morning Joe hosts praised the “perfect stagecraft” of Tuesday night’s Democratic National Convention (DNC) and opened Wednesday’s show with a supercut comparing the Democratic star-filled “party” in Chicago to the Republican National Convention just weeks before.

Host Mika Brzezinski called the difference “a tale of two roll calls” as the reel spliced clips from Tuesday night’s DNC proceedings, filled with music and celebrity , with the much more sober roll call at the RNC.

She said: “The Democratic National Convention turned what is usually a lifeless event to a party as delegates pledged the nomination of Kamala Harris .”

The host continued: “When Georgia was called, Atlanta’s own award-winning rapper Lil’ Jon performed his hit songs . When California cast the final votes for Kamala Harris, it was timed perfectly with Harris walking on stage at a rally with about 15,000 people there. The vice president then addressed the two-packed arenas at the same time. That was just the beginning.”

Co-host Joe Scarborough relayed his awe at the energy on-screen, deferring to co-host Willie Geist : “Wow. Willie, I mean, talk about a show of force, a show of power. That was impressive. I don’t think I’ve ever seen anything like that before. I mean, 15,000 in Milwaukee just packed and then, you know, in Chicago also at the convention. Wow. That was crazy.”

Geist agreed: “Yeah, 20,000 in Chicago and 15,000 in Milwaukee. Perfect stage craft as well.”
