Plus, Joy analyzes significant events that have unfolded recently, including an upside-down American flag--long considered a symbol of distress--that was seen flying over Supreme Court Justice Sam Alito's house.

For Donald Trump, this includes the suspicious delays in not one, but three of his criminal trials, a move that seems strategically aimed at safeguarding his chances, potentially influencing the upcoming election. Meanwhile, in the pivotal battle for Senate control, the possibility of a Republican flip in a Maryland seat looms large. Angela Alsobrooks, a Democratic candidate tasked with thwarting this potential shift, joins Joy tonight to discuss the stakes. Listen now to this edition of The ReidOut on MSNBC.
