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.

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.
