MSNBC's popular morning show "Morning Joe" did not air Monday, the same day the 2024 Republican National Convention commences, sparking speculations over whether the decision has anything to do with the assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump.
A network spokesperson told USA TODAY the show, hosted by Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski, was taken off-air because the channel has stayed in rolling breaking news coverage since the shooting broke out Saturday evening.
The MSNBC spokesperson said NBC News, NBC News NOW and MSNBC will begin the week carrying a simulcast, so that one news feed is covering Trump's attempted assassination.
