MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” aired a clip from Joe Biden’s star-studded fundraiser, where the president jokingly mentioned challenging Donald Trump to a golf game with a specific condition.
The fundraiser in Manhattan featured Biden, Barack Obama, and Bill Clinton joining Stephen Colbert for a discussion. The Biden campaign reports that the event raised over $26 million.
Colbert directed a question towards Biden about Donald Trump’s golfing, asking if voters can trust a presidential candidate who has not won a trophy at Trump International Golf Club.
Colbert joked with a question about Biden’s golfing abilities.
As Obama laughed, Biden expressed his willingness to play golf with Trump and shared a previous conversation with the former president.
Biden recalled telling Trump that he would give him three strokes in a golf game if Trump carried his own bag.
The “Morning Joe” co-host Joe Scarborough reacted with amusement, commenting on Trump’s ability to caddy for himself.
Scarborough addressed criticism about the timing of the fundraiser.
Scarborough explained that the event had been scheduled in advance to rally support for the importance of the election to various groups, including independents and swing voters.
Scarborough highlighted the significance of having three Democratic presidents on stage for the fundraiser and praised the event as remarkable.
Scarborough mentioned the protestors who interrupted the fundraiser, calling for an end to the war in Israel, and urged people to stop worrying.
Scarborough added that despite the setup being criticized, it was a massive success for Joe Biden, the campaign, and the pro-democracy forces.
