The View Gives Rachel Maddow a Slice of ‘Humble Pie’ For Dismissing Biden Dropping Out of Race as ‘Fantasy’ During Last Appearance

MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow had a slice of “humble pie” on Tuesday after watching footage of her dismissing predictions President Joe Biden would be replaced at the top of the Democratic Party ticket as “fantasy.”

“I think the backup plan is [to] run a better campaign. There’s no reason, I think, to have it be — that there’d be this fantasy that Biden’s not the president, that Biden isn’t the nominee. He is and he’s going to be, and I think that’s a fixed variable,” Maddow said during a June 18 appearance on The View.

Biden dropped his reelection campaign just one month later.

“A little change on that since Rachel was here last,” Whoopi Goldberg said on Tuesday after airing the June clip of Maddow.

“A little humble pie, anyone?” the MSNBC host said when she joined the laughing hosts at the table.

“I hate to start with dunking,” Alyssa Farah Griffin said, praising Maddow as “so rarely wrong in political forecasts.”

“I feel like the universe feeds us things like this back just to keep us [humble], to keep our egos in check a little bit. This is a good reminder, don’t believe anything anybody says,” Maddow said about her way off prediction.

Maddow called Biden’s debate with former President Donald Trump the “most consequential” in American history and said it was clear his candidacy was over just minutes into the event.

“I was as surprised as anybody when President Biden dropped out, but it shows you the power of a debate. We’ve never had a debate as consequential in American history as that last debate. In five minutes in that debate, his presidency became a one term presidency,” she said.

During her June appearance on The View, Maddow argued Biden needed to run a “better campaign,” but said he’d made the United States the “envy of the world.”

She and Joy Behar also fretted during the previous appearance that Trump could target them and somehow take The View off the air.

“I’m right there with you. I think that he is so vindictive that he will go after [his critics] however he has to, whether it’s through the IRS maybe, or even through sponsors to get us off the air maybe or you. How seriously should we be taking that?” Behar said at the time.

“I don’t think anyone is safe,” Maddow said.
