Summary

Tonight on The ReidOut, Joy Reid leads with Donald Trump’s attempt to overshadow Kamala Harris with a live conversation featuring Twitter-destroying billionaire Elon Musk. It went poorly, starting 40 minutes late and filled with lies and oddities. Meanwhile, Trump remains mostly off the campaign trail, raising questions about whether he is truly trying to win votes or if he expects his allies to install him as president regardless of the voters' choice. Also tonight, a significant step forward in the fight for reproductive rights as two more states add the issue to the November ballot, including one critical battleground. Plus, we expose Project 2025, the plot to roll back civil rights and force America back to the pre-Civil Rights era. Listen now to this edition of The ReidOut on MSNBC.
