"It's Unlike Anything I Have Ever Covered in My Career" - Chris Hayes on the 2024 Election Cycle 

Chris is always such a great guest on Seth's show. Funny, at ease, informative, eloquent, it's always fun to see the lighter side of otherwise serious figures.

Just yesterday I was watching old vids of Hayes on Colbert thinking when he'll be on Colbert or Seth again and here he is.

Americans who love Democracy, We need to end this Trump saga, and these horrible Magas! The country needs to get back to what we stand for not this Far right insanity!! Amen!😊

I love when very good friends are on the show. It's a guarantee for good laughter between friends😂❤

Glad you are back Seth and Crew

Love all the work you have done for DEMOCRACY Mr Meyers & you are real as my daughter from Aust. saw on the NY Subway - she didn't bother you as you were with the two minime's BUT you were so generous to a man watching a show which your minime's were drawn to 🙂 Thank you for being normal and nice xx

Ugh I love Hayes in interviews. He's just so good!

And shame on the media for focusing only on Biden’s poor performance for 3 weeks and not equally covering all the lies spewed by the other person in the debate.

Chris Hayes gives an excellent answer to the question about whether or not he was surprised by the unity of the party and the way Kamala Harris shepherded the flock.

After watching the debate, my number one concern was for President Biden's health. His brilliant wisdom and extensive experience was all intact. His mind was still all there, but his stamina, energy and the struggle he had to express his position, had me very worried. He didn't want to give up. With everything in him he wanted to see this campaign through to a win. But putting Country before ego, absolutely proved his dedication to America. I'm deeply proud of this honorable man! Passing thr torch to his VP had to be the hardest decision he had to make. Yet he did it for us. It was the correct thing to do. Americans needed the energy and willingness to fight Trump in hand to hand combat. As a true gentleman this was not in President Biden's political heart to fight Trump on his playing field. VP Harris has had vast experience dealing with Trump's type of low life before. Now the President can have her back for support and strengthen her position as the best mentor possible! Tim Walz brings in the "best neighbor vibe." The guy you could fish or hunt with. A man we can trust our children to be cosched by! (So OPPOSITE of Jorden, the creep.) We've got this election now, thanks to you, President Biden. Thank You Sir! Your legacy will be as the hero who sacrificed to save Democracy. You have given the United States a chance to be ourselves again and move forward into the future with real hope. Here comes the win in November! 💙🙏🌊

The hilarious irony of Trump saying that Biden dropping out was a "coup" is completely lost on him. You know, the guy who actually attempted a coup.

Love Chris Hayes! Always surprised by how tall he is!

Chris Hayes is awesome, one of the best hosts on MSNBC

Chris Hayes is awesome

If anyone is curious: "ekstasis" - The state of being beside oneself or rapt out of oneself.

The next debate should be in a bouncy castle.

Hayes is having a blast

Aussie here. Our election campaigns tend to go for, like, seven weeks, from the day it's announced until election day. And plenty of voters think that's too long.

Love seeing my two favorite NBC personalities in the same room 😄

Oh please keep bring on journos to speak about the upcoming election. Great interview.

DonOLD is 78 and if cannot fulfill his term…JD Dunce becomes President! Let THAT sink in!!

As a Canadian, I find the American election process exhausting. It never freaking ends. In Canada, the length of federal election campaigns is approximately 7 to 8 weeks as the leadership race happens outside of that window. It seems the US is always having an election.

I was going to go to Iceland but realised I couldn't afjord it.😊

Good segment. First time I heard anyone talk about Harris only needing to campaign "down the home stretch". Trump is burned out, and she gets psyched up with each event.

Got to love Chris Hayes...

3 months?! Most civilized campaigns are in the 6-8 week range. But that’s because it is not a massive grift. Carry on.

Guys, this is ROEvember. Women want our bodily autonomy back. We want our doctors to treat us without looking over their shoulders.

Chris does a fantastic job with his show! Seth too of course!

Glad that Late Night Talk Show Hosts support democracy! 🇺🇸💙🗳️🔵

The most important election of our lifetime. Vote blue 💙

I didn't vote for Biden in the primary, I voted for the Biden-Harris ticket, that's why Harris became the automatic nominee.

Seth: "They have LIVES...!" 😂

lol the line near the end where hayes says "run the last 50 and be like peace"

We love chris hayes

We are not going back.

I did not touch any news feed at all from Jun 2 until after Kamala Harris became the candidate…..sounds like I made a wise decision.

Exactly!!! Can we PLEASE start talking about limiting / restricting the campaign season??!!! Even money can’t be the excuse anymore as the Harris / Walz campaign has raised a ton of money in just a few weeks.

I still think that President Biden never intended to run for a second term. He was just keeping the heat off of VP Harris as long as possible. The strategy worked. In my opinion.

💙🇺🇸🗽 I'm a Huge Joe Biden devotee! Brilliant candidate! In a country that honored the elders and their wisdom, he wins, like V. P. Kamala is now. ⚖🇺🇸💙

My fav guest ever!

Love me some Chris Hayes! 💖

iT IS VERY MUCH LIKE THE SUCCESS OF A BACKUP QB. THEY HAVE'T PREPPED FOR HER

Biden didn't deserve this but I can't help but be pleased that the States has recalled what it means to be united

Let's watch Lazy Donald "weave" during the debate.

Love this guy❤

Dear Chris Hayes - Please re-introduce "pluralism" . It is time for a comeback. Don't let anyone step on it. No kidding it has great value at a time when this country needs praise and support for getting better at pluralism and improving by learning about and borrowing from each other cultures within democracy.

Missed you both

just an image adjustment. I had no idea that Chris Hayes is built like a line backer.

Chris needs to be on Family Trips asap!

I love the glasses Chris is wearing!

Interesting times, eh? * sighs *

I think that last factor was why Hillary lost. We knew too much about her. Being a politician is a lot like being an impressionist. You have to project the person that voters want you to be. At first, they'll see the similarities between you and their ideal candidate. But if you give them too much, they'll begin to see the differences.

It’s unlike anything I’ve ever covered before, cept 2016, 2018, 2020 & 2022. Personally I think 2016 ( Trumps first run) and 2020 Trump again, but this time with Covid , lockdown and J6 just following it were actually crazier.

What I hate about Presidential Republic is this tendency to select presidents on how much people can identify with them, how well they sell themselves, can they eat a hot dog.. when in fact it's a job, not a symbolic role. We don't ask how well do they manage a large organization, how do they reach decisions, how good are they under pressure.. etc. Who cares if they can small talk at a donut shop. No other job is selected this way. This is a manager role, selected by people who don't know anything about the job. A popularity contest is no way to interview for a job.

😢 those were three long, worrisome weeks.

Love how I thought Chris Hayes said his kids were playing in a Finnish Bouncy Council. "Yeah, we're not into reinforcing the whole physical symbol of an occupying undemocratic force thing for kids around here. Instead we have a inflatable round table and chairs and an inflatable assembly space that is open to the public to engage in. You think that's weird, you should go over to Iceland. They jail their bankers there."

In 2020 when Biden was elected as candidate or around that time there was concerns about his age and his health As I remember it there was talk about Biden being a potential one term president or a transition President in case his health got bad and that he might not run for re election in 2024 Is my memory correct about this and in that case why was every one so surprised when he dropped out? I wasn't

Chris has put some weight on.

I’m glad that Biden waited because Trump picked JD Vance as opposed to more like-able candidate.

voters (and people in general) feel uncomfortable hearing that they are being "targeted" because it implies the priority is to manipulate and not to listen, represent, or help

Glad to see you have Light Side Tucker Carlson on your show

Most Especially, Women understand the assignment

I wish people would say bitter instead of salty. Sigh. Edit: "wishcasting?" Oh god.

He looks like Pedro Pascal’s nerdy brother.

Correction: Seth said they have bouncy castles back in America, but Chris had clearly said his kid was in a Bouncy Council. I assume in Iceland a Bouncy Council is the group of children who decide your fate when you misbehave in a bouncy castle. But of course the offender is always entitled to Bouncy Counsel.

I love the non stop hunter talk for fours years … then nothing.

Waiting those 3 weeks -- until after the RNC and the selection of Vance -- for Biden to drop out was a master stroke. He boxed MAGA into a corner they regret and can't escape.

I don't watch Chris daily, but when he s on late night, ill catch up. Hes gain some weight, hope hes healthy 🙏

6:22 *THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR POINTING THIS OUT.* When it was clear that Biden, as far as strategic interests were concerned, should drop out: Sooooo much whinging from people saying "*It's not enough time!!!*" And I, a Canadian who lives here, was like "oh, you sweet summer children..."

This is the interview of ... I took a vacation after the RNC and watched as the world shifted around me.

He has been running for seven long freaking years!:(

The news has been exhausting for a while. Yeah, the period after the debate was rough with all the calls for Biden to step aside, and luckily there were enough people saying that to be heard. I'd zoom out and say things ramped up from about the time of the guilty verdicts in trump's criminal case. After that, it's been non-stop nonsense. The month of June was overwhelming with news, thanks in large part to the supreme court, which is a good example of the nonsense I just alluded to.

Reykjavik? I'm a Finnish American! Not fair!

Food for the algorithm

Chris Hayes showing the world how hand gestures are used naturally in conversations 🫶👍

Yup, VP Harris is all that, and a coconut bag of chips.

Pretty soon Seth will need to rent a storage space for all the things on his desk.

Love Chris Hayes. I googled Kate Shaw. I hope Chris appreciates that he married up!😃

Seth and Colbert always make it all about themselves. You can tell they’re barely listening so they can get their lines off. Kimmel for life. 4:15

No need to differentiate between small and capital D democratic anymore, it is a given with the alternative

Good to see somebody who’s mostly going off a prompter spread their wings. Lots of talking heads (and big Hollywood actors) would be exposed but not this guy. John Oliver, Amy Poehler, Tina Fey, Alex Wagner, Jon Stewart all come to mind as well. Cooper Anderson is good too. Hell, even O’Reily sparring with Stewart seems like a real human being. (Not one I agree with)

“Very good friend” klaxon!

A good politician goes the way the public goes & follows through. So, yes, a good politician's position on an issue will change even if they personally do not agree with the particular direction the public is going. Gov. Walz is a perfect example of that. He's not someone who'd choose abortion for his family because of the struggles they've had with fertility. However, as he said, he won't take that right, that choice to make their own decisions about their own families away from others nor will he judge someone who does, even if he wouldn't choose that. THAT'S someone understanding where the American public is, understanding where he is, but being able to separate his duty from his personal life & beliefs.

& N🌞🌞N at 5pm & 70 feels 85°! 🥵

Chris is a lot taller than I imagined he would be behind his desk.

Dumpy is still horrible no matter how the debate went

As a woman from the Philly suburbs (Upper Darby,PA Tina Fey’s hometown) I can tell you that most women I know myself included are voting for Kamala Harris!!!!

Yes. All your observations influenced my thinking that Biden's timing was intentional. Trump had his false sense of arrogant entitlement for a while, then "had the rug pulled out from under him". Kamala avoided a primary race....how could it have been better? Political genius.

Yeah, campaigning for 19 months is dumb…

0:10 MSNBC is putting out a vinyl LP??

Chris explained the transition logic about Kamala so well thank you Chris

Wait it was really only 3 weeks?

No one talks about that trump was also a disaster during that debate!

Seth is gesturing much more than usual in this segment. I am guessing it's because he gets enthused talking politics with Chris.

Seth, must you have a printed sign for everything?

How many full cards can seth get through before the audience cheers die down?

Slip of the tongue I know, but I like to think that Chris Hayes' child being in a "bouncy council" is a real possibility

Just because you’re on vacation doesn’t mean we were. Your rehashing of headlines from weeks ago was a snooze
