MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski Eyeing Move to London Amid Trump Surge in Polls
As Trump Gains Ground, MSNBC Hosts Make Contingency Plans Abroad
MSNBC’s high-profile hosts Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski are reportedly exploring a potential move to London if former President Donald Trump wins the 2024 election. The Morning Joe co-hosts, known for their outspoken criticism of Trump, are said to be so concerned about a possible second Trump term that they have enlisted agents to help them find a home across the Atlantic. According to sources familiar with the situation, the couple is planning to broadcast their show from NBC News’ studios in London if Trump reclaims the White House.
This consideration reportedly comes as the latest polls show Trump surging, an outcome that has reignited anxieties at MSNBC and beyond. Following the recent Biden-Trump debate, alarm bells were already ringing at the network, insiders say. Though the launch of Kamala Harris’s campaign initially provided some reassurance, Trump’s renewed strength in the polls has only amplified concerns within MSNBC. Those who have been especially vocal against Trump—including Scarborough, Brzezinski, and even Deadline: White House host Nicolle Wallace—are feeling the pressure.
Wallace is reportedly discussing a potential move. Known for her sharp critiques of Trump and the GOP, Wallace allegedly fears that a second Trump administration could lead to her removal from the airwaves—or worse, potential imprisonment due to her outspoken opposition.
Adding to the list of notable names considering life abroad, conservative attorney and Trump critic George Conway recently announced he is looking to relocate to New Zealand, while former Trump lawyer Michael Cohen has reportedly been exploring options in Europe. This wave of contingency planning underscores the anxiety many high-profile media and legal figures feel as the 2024 election looms closer, particularly those who have been openly critical of Trump. Scarborough and Brzezinski, who have consistently used their platform to challenge Trump and his policies, are prepared to take their show overseas if necessary. As these reports suggest, some are already taking steps to prepare for what they view as a new era of uncertainty.
