Summary

Joy Reid leads this episode of The ReidOut with Colorado and Donald Trump's disqualification from that state's ballot. Joy and her guests discuss how what many call a compromised Supreme Court, shaped by Trump, will likely decide his fate on that issue, and his claim of presidential immunity in the election interference case. Plus--the predictable response from Trump's MAGA allies is, "Let the people decide"... After many of them allegedly tried to overturn the will of the voters in 2024. Next, we examine Trump's apparent obsession with pure blood, which is now part of his increasingly facist stump speech. All this and more in this edition of The ReidOut on MSNBC.
