Bickering and nonsense. Truer words never been said. The reidout with joy reid is up next. Tonight on the reidout its about trying to pull the wool over the eyes of america. Because the tyrants and dictators of the world are on the march today. So who wins with this ludicrous embarrassing spectacle . Orban wins, putin wins, xi wins, the tyrants of the world win. If one more reason to celebrate donald trump and his cult followers. Congressman jamie raskin speaking the truth as bidens special prosecutor robert hur testifies before a Congressional Committee with the latest republican attempt to smear the president comes up embarrassingly short. Also, Raphael Warnock joins me as polls close in his states president ial primary, and he has a warning about Voter Suppression ahead of the president ial election this fall. Plus, a new u. S. Intelligence report suggests israeli Prime MinisterBenjamin Netanyahu could be on thin ice due to the war in gaza. Today, i spoke with former prime Minsterehud Omare who says he agrees that its hurting more thar its helping. Prime minister netanyahu is not acting in line with what i think is the basic strategic interest of the state of israel and i completely agree with President Biden. But first, polls are closing right now in georgias president ial primary. Even though it is pretty obvious at this point who the nominees for each party will be, tonight is expected to be the night that President Biden and donald trump both cross the deegate threshold to clinch the title of presumptive nominees. Lets start with Steve Kornacki at the big board where he lives. What are we looking for tonight . As we speak, joe biden is on the cusp of formally locking up the democratic nomination. He has 1,869 delegates. There are 1,968 needed to clinch a first ballot nomination. In other words, he needs 99 and the polls have just closed in georgia. Of the three states right now voting on the democratic side, georgia closes at 7 00. Were waiting, any minute now, any second now potentially were expecting the results to start coming in. Obviously, with biden having really no opposition here, you assume and based on all the results we have seen in other primaries this will be an overwhelming and swift victory for joe biden. And if you see that with the early results that come in, those delegates could be allocated very quickly in georgia has 108 of them. Its very possible in the next few minutes as we start to get results from georgia, joe biden will quickly wrap up the 99 that he needs to clinch the nomination. Again, you can just see that would put him over 1968, that would make him officially, i mean, it will become truly official at the convention this summer, but he will have pledged delegates bound in their commitments to give him the first ballot nomination. Were waiting on georgia for the democrats. Were also waiting for on the republican side here, where donald trump is sitting at 1,089 delegates, 1215 the magic number on the republican side. Trump, 126 short. Hes not going to get it in georgia. There are only 59 delegates for the republicans at stake in georgia. Mississippi will close at 8 00. There are 40 there. So trump will not get it in the early hours tonight, most likely it will be 11 00 eastern time, washington state, the polls will close then. There are 43 delegates at stake there. So likely in that 11 00 hour, donald trump will cross the threshold and youll have both Major Party Candidates reaching their delegate magic numbers, as i just check in with georgia again here. Reaching their delegate numbers tonight, locking in the delegates they need to win their partys nominations on the first ballot. By the way, we went back and did do a Little Research on this. If that is indeed what happens tonight before midnight, and i stress the term before midnight, it will actually set the stage mathematically for the longest general Election Campaign in modern american history. There would be 240 days from now until the election on november 5th. And both candidates would have clinched their partys nominations. The earliest thats happened before, theres actually a couple elections where it happened 239 days before the general election. So if it happens before midnight tonight, this will be a 240day campaign from this point forward. People are prepping for a trump biden race a lot longer, but in terms of both of them locking down those numbers, that could come, if it comes before midnight, it will be the longest general Election Campaign ever mathematically, at least by that metric. Again, the polls have closed in georgia. We just expect this map to begin lighting up. I know georgia can be a little slow in the early going. Well see, because any results that come in here, if theyre what we expect, it could be very quick in terms of biden being declared the winner and getting the delegates and becoming the democratic nominee by numbers. Steve, this is why i love you. You anticipate my every question. Thats literally what i was going to ask you. Would this be the earliest that we have locked in. Its unusual, because essentially, you have sort of a dueling incumbent race. A sitting president running against a former president , and its very early. You anticipated me, so anticipate this as well, my friend. If it comes in, if you got a call, wave your hands in the air somehow through the magic of tv well see you and come back. Oh, joy, we just got our first report here. This is from floyd county. Its 66 votes. Sometimes this precipitates when you see the first one, sometimes you get a couple more right away. So i pause here for a few seconds to see if anything lights up. Nothing immediately here, but were starting to get it. Look, its 100 . 66 votes. But biden getting every one of them. Probably will not take much from these counties for that pattern to be established and this to happen. Yes, i will absolutely flag you as soon as we see that. Really quickly before i let you go, steve, how quick of a Counting State is georgia . Yeah, if this were a competitive election tonight, it would take a while. We got a little more here, too. Pulaski county, okay, now we have a third county coming in here. Quick. Now 93 for biden. 100 for biden. 98 for biden. So youre already seeing obviously there was no suspense, hes going to win it. Hes going to get that 95 plus, just the way the delegates work on the democratic side, tell you what theyre looking for here, the number thats bidens enemy here from the delegate standpoint is 15 . If any of the other candidates on the ballot are getting 15 , they can start collecting delegates. Obviously, in these early returns, nobody is even remotely in the ballpark of 15 . That pattern would then establish biden and put him in position to win all of the delegates. Again, 108 at stake here. He needs 99 of them. If that happens, he crosses the magic number. If you cant tell, im stretching a little bit for time because we did get those three. Im waiting on more. If can be a little slow in georgia in the early going, but like i said, certainly based on these first now we have a few more here. Again, 96, 95, 93, 100 . Unanimous. And floyd county, 98 in pulaski. And i think there it is, joy. The stretching has paid off. Joe biden, our Decision Desk has projected will win georgia, and lets go back now to and there it is. He has now crossed with that, he gets the necessary delegates. We have just allocated him 104 of them. So he has now crossed the number 1,968 was needed. Biden now at 1973. Hes the presumptive nominee. Those are pledged delegates. Their commitments will be binding. Joe biden has the necessary delegates to win the democratic nomination on the first ballot. To the extent there was any remaining suspense, it has been eliminated. Joe biden the presumptive nominee. Steve kornacki, even not in khakis, always effective and bringing us the info we need. Thank you, my friend. Joining me now is, as it turns out, democratic senator from georgia, Raphael Warnock. Your state, it is kind of poetic, is it not . It was georgia that delivered the two senate seats that gave democrats back the majority, yours being one of the two, senator ossoff being the other one. It was your state that so enraged donald trump that he committed acts which have now led him to Felony Charges in your state. It was your state where he said he just needed to find 13,000 odd votes and asked your Secretary Of State to do that for him, which he did not. What do you make of the eightminute suspense for georgia delivering joe biden officially the nomination . Or at least making him the presumptive nominee . Good evening, joy. Great to be with you, and although im in d. C. , yeah, let me say welcome again to battleground georgia. The country should know by now that georgia shows up. And there is poetry in power that it was georgia thats pushing him now over the finish line. He is our official nominee. We know that georgia literally saved the whole country in 2021, sending its first African American senator and its first jewish senator to the United States senate from georgia in one fell swoop. If that had not happened, let me give you one point. Ketanji Brown Jackson would not be sitting on the Supreme Court. So georgia did this on january 5th, as you point out, we saw a violent insurrection pushed forward by this expresident on january 6th. And then in a real sense, thats what this election is about. Are you going to choose the America Of January 5th that would send a kid who grew up in public housing, the first African American senator from georgia to the senate, and a jewish kid also mentored by john lewis, or are you going to give in to the forces of resentment and revenge and retribution that Got Donald Trump . I choose january 5th, i choose an america that embraces all of us. You mentioned, of course, yourself and senator ossoff. And ketanji Brown Jackson and all those changes. All of that happened despite your state being in some ways a marquee for Voter Suppression. Your governor, brian kemp, who when he was Secretary Of State almost arrhythmatically attempted to remove voters from the polls and very ceremoniously signed a Voter Suppression law under a portrait of a plantation, and yet, you have had your state had very high voter registration. What do you make of the state of Voting Rights at this point, senator . Because there is a john lewis Voting Rights act that does exist, that i understand is potentially going to be reintroduced in the senate. Whats the state of Voting Rights in your state and nationally . I reintroduced the john lewis Voting Rights advancement act just a few days ago. I testified regarding it in the Senate Judiciary hearing earlier today. After i won, after jon ossoff won, the State Of Georgia actually doubled down on its Voter Suppression tactics. And the question we have to ask ourselves is why and also how . We know why. They looked at the power of us standing together. The movement of a multiracial democracy emerging in our country, the future of our country, and they went after it as one court has said in another hearing with surgical precision. Its about Voter Suppression and making it difficult for us to do what we did. But how is it that they were able to do it . Its because in 2013, the Supreme Court really gutted the Voting Rights act of 1965 thats been reauthorized time and time again on a bipartisan basis. We would not have sb202 in georgia with this awful Voter Suppression provisions. We likely would not have it if we had that powerful tool of preclearance that used to stop these bad things from happening before they happened. Thats why i reintroduced the john lewis Voting Rights advancement act a few days ago, and before that, we introduced the freedom to vote act. We are seeing and we saw in my election record turnout, but lets be very clear. Just because people stood in long lines and endured the rain in order to vote, that doesnt mean there isnt Voter Suppression. The people just decided that they werent going to have their voices silenced. The truth is, the Brennan Center recently released a study that showed that sadly, the gap between white Voter Turnout and black Voter Turnout has actually widened. And so we need this tool. We need these tools. The used to be passed on a bipartisan basis. Im urging my colleagues, democrats and republicans, to do whats right, protect our democracy, in a moment in which were watching an insurrectionist expresident trying to diminish it in every way. Two quick questions. When it comes to the prosecution of donald trump in your State Of Georgia, do you anticipate that fani willis will still be the prosecutor by monday coming . Because we know a decision is coming this week. Im not going to speculate on that. We will see. Thats a decision that will be made by a judge. Ill tell you this. There are those who seem to be trying to put their finger on the scale in georgia. Im not going to add to that, politicize it. A judge will make a decision. But he must make that decision based on the law. Heres what i know. Trump deserves a fair hearing before a jury of his peers. Those are georgia voters. And given the seriousness of the charges, i hope to see him in court. Let me ask you another question, because we know one of the ways that donald trump and republicans are hoping to demagogue their way back into control of the white house and to hold on to control of the senate, i mean, control of the house and gain control of the senate is to immigration issue. And they have been truly demagoguing an issue of a georgia young woman who was killed, a georgia young Nursing Student named laken riley. They have now passed a law called the laken riley act, all republican members and 37 democrats voted in the house to support the bill. The legislation requires that the detention of any migrants accused of burglary or theft. My understanding is that burglary and theft are already illegal. What does this law add to the current existing law . Is it just a Messaging Bill . Does it do anything or change anything . I will note for our audience that overall crime is down this year across this country. And migrant crime is negligible. What does this law do . Does it do anything . Let me first of all just say that my heart goes out to this young womans family, laken riley did not deserve what happened to her. To answer your question succinctly, this is smoke and mirrors by people who are not serious. We had a bipartisan piece of legislation in front of us. It had a lot of provisions, some provisions that some folks on my side didnt like, but the only way to get comprehensive immigration reform, the only way to address the Current Crisis on the border in divided government is on a bipartisan basis. And so rather than demagoguing this tragic death by this young woman, they ought to get serious. And lets pass some Bipartisan Legislation and deal with the crisis at the border. I have to let you go, but i will note your Secretary Of StateBrad Raffensperger has anticipated turnout for this primary is only 10 . Very quickly, give us a word, senator, and also pastor, how do we get people to participate in these primaries rather than wait for the general and then complain about the choices that they have on the general election ballot . Well, the choice between us couldnt be more stark. Between joe biden and donald trump. And literally, the future of the democracy itself is at stake. I often say that a vote is a kind of prayer for the world we desire for ourselves and for our children and our prayers are stronger when we pray together. Lets show up and pray with our lips and with our legs, with our hearts, our hands, and our feet. The momentum is at joe bidens back. Well keep pushing until november. I will note that joe biden is reaching the threshold to become the presumptive nominee before donald trump so hes already beaten donald trump tonight in one way. Senator warnock of the great State Of Georgia, thank you very much. Great to be with you. Thank you. Up next, turns out the whole Republican Special counsel narrative that President Biden has memory issues is a total lie. Who would have thunk it . Or an unbearable itch. This painful blistering rash could also disrupt your work and time with family. Shingles could also lead to long term, debilitating nerve pain that can last for months or even years. If youre over 50, the virus that causes shingles is likely already inside of you. and as you age, your risk of developing shingles increases. dont wait.
