Episode 160

Tonight on The ReidOut, Joy Reid leads with Donald Trump and JD Vance defending their racist hate speech about Haitian immigrants in Springfield, Ohio, which is tearing the community apart and sparking violent threats, possibly by design. Meanwhile, there is news of a second apparent assassination attempt against Trump. The suspect does not fit Trump's usual narrative—not a liberal, minority, or migrant—but that has not stopped MAGA supporters from using the incident to stoke further division. Also, surprisingly strong polling results for Vice President Harris are coming in from states that were not expected to be competitive.
