Hardball With Chris Matthews

Tonight on The ReidOut, Joy Reid leads with the powerful speech on reproductive rights in Georgia today from Vice President Kamala Harris, following reports of the horrifying consequences of the state's strict abortion ban. Also tonight, the MAGA-majority on the Georgia Election Board has ordered a hand-count of the five million or so ballots for November's election, setting the stage for chaos that Donald Trump might need to secure a victory. Plus, Republicans in North Carolina are stuck with Mark Robinson, who allegedly professed to be a "black Nazi" and enjoyed peeping on women, as their candidate for governor--and it is too late to take him off the ballot. Listen now.

Tonight on The ReidOut, Joy Reid leads with North Carolina gubernatorial candidate Mark Robinson and his bombshell porn website scandal, which he denies. Could he sink Donald Trump's chances of winning this critical state? Also tonight, Election Day is November 5th, but for MAGA, it is all about January 6th and getting Trump’s foot soldiers in place to challenge a Kamala Harris victory. Plus, President Biden celebrated the amazing success of Bidenomics today. Inflation is down, and against all odds, a recession has been averted, which Republicans are, for some reason, unhappy about. Listen now.

Tonight on The ReidOut, Joy Reid asks: Does the GOP even look like a party that is trying to win? A diminished Donald Trump confuses Alaska with Afghanistan, while MAGA stalwarts like Sarah Huckabee Sanders and John McEntee are busy smearing and ridiculing women. Perhaps they do not think they need votes because they have a different plan to seize power in January. Plus, Rachel Maddow joins us to discuss all this, along with her highly-anticipated new documentary "From Russia with Lev," premiering this Friday at 9 pm ET on MSNBC. Listen now!

Plus, former CNN anchor Don Lemon joins us to discuss the indictment of Sean "Diddy" Combs, the chaos surrounding Elon Musk, and his new book on the crisis of faith in America and his personal journey. Listen now!

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. Listen now!

Tonight on The ReidOut, Joy Reid leads with Kamala Harris having her eyes on the prize — the battleground prize, that is!

Also tonight, there is a right-wing uproar over Taylor Swift that is making headlines. Listen now!

Tonight on The ReidOut, Joy Reid leads with Kamala Harris wrapping up a whirlwind day of campaigning in North Carolina, marking her first day back on the trail after decisively defeating Donald Trump in the debate.
