Todd: Let's face it -- people are wondering about Biden's competence

A notable leftover from yesterday morning, in which NBC’s commentators Chuck Todd and Willie Geist acknowledge that Biden has major problems with credibility already. From the pandemic to the border to Afghanistan, Todd points out, nothing that Biden promised has materialized, and now our allies are questioning our “competency” under Biden. There’s one topic that doesn’t come up in this clip, however, although Todd alludes to it indirectly:

Todd, who is also NBC News’s political director, mentioned the withdrawal of troops from Afghanistan, which he noted Biden told Americans would not be “messy” and would not look like Saigon in 1976.
On coronavirus vaccine boosters, Biden “came out and essentially indicated eight months, maybe as soon as six months … now, we’re not sure if anyone under 65 is going to get a booster shot,” Todd continued.
And on the border, where thousands of migrants are camped out in squalid conditions under a bridge in Texas, Todd said it has become “pretty clear we have a bigger problem now than we’ve had in years, and these policies have turned into becoming a magnet.”
