Harris & Obama campaign together for the first time
Joy Reid begins tonight's ReidOut with the election's final stretch. We take you to a star-studded rally near Atlanta, a must-win for Democrats, featuring Bruce Springsteen and Spike Lee, headlining for Kamala Harris and Barack Obama. It is the first time Harris and Obama are campaigning together for her presidential bid, although they have a long history of collaboration. Despite this high-profile support, the media has largely fixated on Harris calling Trump a fascist, downplaying the fact that Trump's own former officials—like retired generals John Kelly and Mark Milley—have said the same. Listen now.

The former president returns to the scene of the alleged crime
Joy Reid leads this episode of The ReidOut following Thursday's breaking news out of Washington, DC. Donald Trump, for the third time this year, entered a courthouse, stood before a judge, and pleaded "not guilty" to his alleged crimes. Unlike the previous two instances, the location of Thursday's arraignment tells its own story, because the former president essentially returned to the scene of the alleged crime. The DC federal courthouse stands in the shadow of the U.S. Capitol where Trump’s efforts to subvert our democracy, following his failed 2020 presidential bid, culminated in the insurrection at that very building. Sitting just feet away from Trump as he entered his not guilty plea was special counsel Jack Smith. The next hearing was set for August 28 before Judge Tanya Chutkan who will oversee the trial. Rep. Jamie Raskin and more join The ReidOut to discuss this historic third indictment of former president Donald Trump.

Why Trump's third indictment is the most historically significant
Joy Reid leads this episode of The ReidOut as we continue to follow the breaking news that Donald Trump has received indictment number three courtesy of the DC grand jury investigating his efforts to overturn the 2020 election. Never has a president of the United States refused to relinquish power until Trump. Never has a former president come up with a conspiracy that involves having their vice president overturn the will of the people through the use of a fake electors scheme until Trump. Never has a former president incited an insurrection with armed extremists to storm the U.S. Capitol until Trump. No U.S. president has ever been indicted, before Trump. For Trump this is indictment number three, and in many ways it is the most historically significant one. Chair of the former House January 6th Committee, Rep. Bennie Thompson, reacts to these historical developments, joining our expert guests on this breaking news edition of The ReidOut on MSNBC.
