OPINION| In a recent interview, former MSNBC host Chris Matthews had some strong words for Democrat elites who have criticized President Joe Biden. Matthews, known for his outspoken commentary, didn’t mince words when he said, “They’re going to pay for it.”
Matthews’ comments come in the wake of growing concerns about Biden’s age and cognitive abilities, which have led some Democrats to call for him to step aside and make way for a younger, more vibrant candidate. However, Matthews believes that Biden still has the backing of minorities and union people, and that other Democrats will come home and end up supporting him in the fall.
“He’s had the elite, and it’s so true about the elite,” Matthews said. “He had a good reason to be resentful, but he isn’t. He’s going to hold that base of the Democratic Party, which he will need in November.”
Matthews went on to say that Biden’s critics will face “payback” for their attacks on the president. “I’m telling you, people are going to end up rooting for him in October because he will have a comeback,” he said. “And in this elite-fashioned attack on him, they’re going to pay for it.”
Matthews’ comments have sparked a debate among Democrats, with some agreeing that Biden’s critics should face consequences for their actions, while others argue that the party should focus on finding a strong candidate for the 2024 election.

Regardless of where you stand on the issue, it’s clear that Matthews’ warning has struck a nerve within the Democratic Party. As the 2024 election approaches, it will be interesting to see how Biden’s critics respond to Matthews’ comments and whether they will face the “payback” he predicts.
