Summary

As Joy Reid leads this episode of The ReidOut, we reflect on the events of four years ago when Covid-19 was officially declared a pandemic. Despite the immense challenges faced then, Republicans now pose the question: "Are you better off than you were then?," in a bid to help Donald Trump's campaign against President Biden. Are they trying to gaslight the American public? Additionally, we delve into the Trump-led takeover of the RNC, where loyalists and family members now hold sway. Plus, a bipartisan House vote has put TikTok on the brink of being banned in the U.S., a platform many of us, including young voters, use daily. Enjoy our insightful and thought-provoking discussions on these pressing issues and more on The ReidOut on MSNBC.
