Democrats helped a seemingly unelectable GOP radical win the primary over a Republican who voted to impeach Trump.
If the gamble doesn't pay off, they'll only have themselves to blame. (via @MaddowBlog) msnbc.com/rachel-maddow-show…

There was one issue with Trump’s endorsement in Missouri's GOP Senate race: Which candidate named Eric did he back? 🤷♂️
In the latest case of “you can’t make this up,” @mehdirhasan says "I think we can all agree that there is definitely one Eric that Trump isn’t endorsing.”

The U.S. has evacuated more Ukrainians to America than it has Afghans — and in a much shorter span of time.
“It’s not just Afghanistan. It’s quite similar to Iraqis, to Palestinians, to Syrians,” @HosnaJalil tells @mehdirhasan. “It is a very clear discrimination.”

The drone strike on Ayman al-Zawahri shows the U.S. can stop terrorists from afar.
But, @mehdirhasan says, Biden and his predecessors haven't shown "the U.S. is willing and able to clean up the many humanitarian messes it’s helped create across one of the poorest countries."

Trump "tried his damndest to pull the levers of government to get the election overturned," @JonLemire tells @mehdirhasan. "It didn’t work, but just barely."
He warns: "There are no guardrails...[It's] the true believers who will be with Trump, working to take office in 2025."

There’s been some talk about Trump losing his grip on the GOP. But on the ground, it’s clear Trump’s election lie narrative isn’t going anywhere, @mehdirhasan says:
“He now has an army of election-denying loyalists ... keen to carry the torch of the Big Lie forward into 2024.”

Despite mutterings about Trump losing his grip on the GOP, primary races across the country prove his election lie narrative isn’t going anywhere.
@JonLemire joins @mehdirhasan tonight to discuss the political climate and where we go from here. Watch on @MSNBConPeacock.

Catch @mehdirhasan and @JonLemire talk all things Trump and more tonight on the MSNBC hub on @peacockTV!
There may be Trump’s ‘Big Lie’ — but we can’t forget about the many other mistruths he’s told, big and small, and his commandeering of the government to “bend to his lies,” @mehdirhasan says.
What does that mean for 2024? He and @Jon_Lemire discuss tonight on @msnbconpeacock.

Forward Party co-founder Christine Todd Whitman says Andrew Yang has “indicated” he won’t run in 2024.
@mehdirhasan: “If you’re a politician, ‘indicated’ is not a great word. Has Andrew Yang ruled out that he'll be running as a third-party candidate for your party?"

Joe Manchin’s reconciliation deal with Chuck Schumer surprised many, including most Senate Democrats.
But if you think he did to boost Dems before midterms, think again, @mehdirhasan says: “Joe Manchin isn’t looking out for his own party. [He’s] looking out for Joe Manchin.”

A new third party may make sense as a home for anti-Trump Republicans, but why would moderate Democrats join? Forward co-founder and former New Jersey GOP Gov. Christine Todd Whitman insists that many top Democrats have already joined.
“Can you name one?” @mehdirhasan asks.

New polls suggest there's an appetite for another party. And a third party formed by a former governor, a 2020 candidate and an ex-congressman aims to break into the mold.
But just because voters want a new choice doesn’t mean Forward is the the right one, @mehdirhasan says:

What’s driving Republicans’ decades-long push to defund the IRS? “It’s a mix both of ideology and of catering to their corporate and wealthy donors,” @eisingerj tells @mehdirhasan. Watch:

America’s 1% continues to profit from decades of legal tax loopholes that are out of reach for the average citizen.
How much is that costing the federal government? Billions, @mehdirhasan says — all as Republicans keep up a longstanding plan to ‘defund’ the tax police.

Most voters want another choice besides Democrat and Republican. The new “Forward Party” aims to give them that option – but can it live up to its promise?
Co-founder and former NJ Gov. Christine Todd Whitman joins @mehdirhasan to answer that Q — watch on @MSNBConPeacock.
