Joy Reid leads this episode of The ReidOut with the Republican presidential debate featuring five candidates who most people likely agree will almost certainly not be getting the nomination. Our experts weigh in on the fact that while we saw a lot of heated rhetoric in Wednesday night's debate, in the end they are all likely just running for second place. Also in this episode, we analyze what it could mean that Joe Manchin, the Senate's most conservative Democrat, has announced that he will not be running for re-election. Plus, we bring you new reporting on special counsel Jack Smith's plans to make Donald Trump's role in the January 6th insurrection the centerpiece of Trump's federal election interference trial. All this and more in this edition of The ReidOut on MSNBC.

Meanwhile, Donald Trump and his defenders are bracing for the verdict by attacking the judge, lying about the jury instructions, and increasingly portraying Trump as a martyr.

Trump's legal fate is in the hands of the jury

Joy Reid leads this episode of The ReidOut with the closing arguments in the historic first-ever criminal trial of a former U.S. president, Donald Trump. The prosecution argues that the case comes down to three things that they claim to have proven -- that there were in fact false business records, that the false business records were intended to cover up a conspiracy related to the 2016 election, and that Donald Trump was personally involved. As expected, the defense focused heavily on Michael Cohen’s credibility in their closing arguments. We also cover the global condemnation, which is at a fever pitch, after an Israeli airstrike hit a camp for displaced civilians in Rafah. Listen now to this edition of The ReidOut on MSNBC.
