Phang show at 12 00 p. M. Eastern right here on msnbc. The reidout with joy reid is up next. Tonight on the reidout youre confused. You think im on trial. These people are on trial for trying to steal an election in 2020. Im not on trial no matter how hard you try to put me on trial. Correct. But from the beginning, the right has tried to make trumps Georgia Election interference trial all about d. A. Fani willis. And today, the judge found no actual Conflict Of Interest, but did manage to gratuitously impugn her integrity. Also tonight, we need to have a serious Reality Check about the rightwing propaganda that trump is somehow gaining historic levels of support among black voters. He wishes. But we begin tonight with the most american of realities. If youre a rich white guy and especially if youre a celebrity and a former president , not only are you Above The Law, you are so Above The Law that if you get indicted for trying to overturn an election and thus overthrow the government,
Up Way Too Early on this thursday morning. Well have coverage of the State Of The Union tonight. Morning joe starts right now. January 6th was a disgrace. American citizens attacked their own government. They used terrorism to try to stop a specific piece of Domestic Business they didnt not like. Fellow americans beat and bloodied our own police. They stormed the senate floor. They tried to hunt down the speaker of the house. They built a gallows and chanted about murdering the vice president. They did this because theyd been Fed Wild Falsehoods by the most powerful man on earth. Because he was angry and lost an election. Former President Trumps actions preceded the riot for a disgraceful, disgraceful dereliction of duty. Therefore, i am endorsing donald j. Trump. You know, the one thing we cut off there, and maybe its not fair to mitch, is that at the end of it, right after that, he broke into a rousing tune, had a band, happy days are here again. It was like the 32 convention. I coul
Any more electionselections. Voters are not just choosing between the candidates but making critical decisions about the basic fundamentals of the democracy. Polling in the last knew 2024 primaries show us everything show us that donald trump will defeat nikki haley by significant margins. And Super Tuesday will perhaps mark this days away from Trump Clinching the republican nomination officially. That means today will, if nothing else, crystallize the choices that americans face in november. This between two president s, one current, one former. One president who has an agenda that commands broad public support. His commitment to our democracy and our institutions has never been in doubt. But hes dogged by some lackluster polling that doesnt match up with support for his policies. And the other, well, you know the other. Four times indicted, twice impeached expresident who currently faces 91 Felony Counts in four jurisdictions. Hes been found liable for sexual abuse. Set to pay hundre
in his own state, but he suspended his campaign for president today, and threw his support behind former president donald trump. and here is trump at a rally earlier tonight, talking about desantis endorsement. i d like to take time to congratulate ron desantis. and of course, a really terrific person. but as you know, he left the campaign trail today at three pm, and in so doing, he was very gracious, and he endorsed me. so i appreciate it. gracious, we don t get that word a lot from donald trump, but he is trying to get everybody to support him. so now the race is narrow, a head to head between trump and nikki haley. haley leads trump among independents, a crucial block here in new hampshire, where there are more undecided voters than republicans or democrats. but she is 19 points behind trump overall. so, what comes next, and how close are we to another head to head presidential race between donald trump and joe biden? joining me now, nbc news correspondents dasha bu
