The Morning Joe show did air on October 8, 2025, as scheduled. The show continued with its usual political commentary and news analysis format featuring Joe Scarborough. Earlier recent episodes included discussions on the second anniversary of October 7 attacks in Israel, the government shutdown, and polling regarding the war in Gaza. There was no indication that the show was canceled or had any major disruptions on that day. However, it is important to note that the show had a one-time cancellation on October 6, 2024, following an assassination attempt on President Trump when MSNBC replaced Morning Joe with continuous live news coverage at that time. But for October 8, 2025, Morning Joe aired normally with usual programming and guests.
In recent episodes, Joe Scarborough also weighed in on political controversies, such as calling for a Virginia AG nominee to stand down after a scandal, reflecting the show's engagement in ongoing political discourse.
So, in summary, Morning Joe aired today with its normal news and political talk format, continuing its role as a prominent political morning program on MSNBC.
