[See NewsBusters for more.] Presidential historian, sometimes Biden speechwriter, and frequent MSNBC Jon Meacham joined The 11th Hour on Friday to recap what turned out to be a very eventful week. For Meacham, the week both the defense of Ukraine and the nomination of Ketanji Brow Jackson to the Supreme Court are critically important for democracy, just like winning World War II.

Responding to questioning from host Alicia Menendez about how critical the week was for President Biden, Meacham declared, “It’s a remarkable week for both the president and for all of us.”
