Summary

Joy Reid leads this episode of The ReidOut with news that on Monday the judge overseeing Donald Trump’s federal election interference case scheduled the trial to begin on March 4 of next year--just one day before Super Tuesday. Plus, Ron DeSantis was booed by his constituents in Florida at a vigil after Saturday's mass shooting in Jacksonville, which was committed by a self-avowed racist, a phrase many critics say Ron DeSantis would never say. Florida St. Rep. Angie Nixon, who stood next to DeSantis at that vigil resulting in a powerful photo, joins Joy Reid to discuss. Also, Vivek Ramaswamy has called Rep. Ayanna Pressley and author Ibram X. Kendi "modern grand wizards of the modern KKK." Both of these esteemed people, who were maligned by the 2024 presidential candidate, speak out on his attacks with Joy Reid. All this and more in this edition of The ReidOut on MSNBC.
