Summary

Joy Reid leads this episode of The ReidOut with Ron DeSantis suspending his presidential campaign and endorsing Donald Trump, putting an end to one of the biggest campaign failures in political history. Joy's guests lambaste how DeSantis is leaving behind a trail of destructive policies in Florida that he and his obedient Republican legislature shoved down the throats of Floridians, all to advance his personal political ambitions. Meanwhile, Trump is lobbing racially charged attacks on Nikki Haley, who is now the only non-insurrectionist left in the Republican race. Plus, we examine how the abortion issue continues to haunt Republicans on this, the anniversary of Roe v. Wade, the landmark 1973 Supreme Court decision enshrining women's bodily autonomy, which was killed by Republicans. All this and more in this edition of The ReidOut on MSNBC.
