ABC, NBC morning shows give blunt assessment of Biden's future: 'Code red'

CNN, ABC, NBC and MSNBC hosts offered some grim assessments on the future of President Biden's candidacy on Thursday, as several prominent Democrats have called on him to bow out of the race. 

"It's almost like they're saying, ‘we can do this the easy way or the hard way,'" NBC’s Kristen Welker said Thursday on "Today," referring to several reports of leaked, private conversations the president has had with prominent Democrats. 

Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., publicly called on the president to bow out on Wednesday.
