hampshire, where in just two days, voters will head to the polls the first primary election of the 2024 presidential cycle. but it has been a wild 24 hours in the race for the republican nomination, after florida governor ron desantis once, the next great hope of the republican party not too long ago. i mean, i am talking less than two years ago, the next great hope. he won by 19 points in his own state. but he suspended his campaign for president today, and through his support behind former president donald trump. and here is trump at a rally earlier tonight, talking about desantis s endorsement. i d like to take time to congratulate ron desantis. and of course, a really terrific person. but as you know, he left the campaign trail today at three pm, and in so doing, he was very gracious, and he endorse me. so i appreciate that. gracious, we don t get that word a lot from donald trump, but he is trying to get everybody to support him. so now the race is narrow, a head to
and i aced it. i think it was 35, 30 questions. and let me tell you, they always show you the first one, like a giraffe, a tiger, or this. a whale. which one is the whale? donald trump is again bragging about acing the dementia test. while claiming that presidents should have full immunity for any crimes they might want to commit. former u.s. attorney general eric holder joins me on that. and on a big victory in louisiana, where a new legislative map with two majority black districts is advancing in the state legislature. plus, with a border deal on the table, which senate republicans say is a great deal, trump s maga caucus in the house is saying no. because they want to continue to stoke fear ahead of the fall election. but we begin tonight with donald trump. the leading candidate for the republican presidential nomination telling americans very clearly that he should be able to murder and jail anyone he wants to, and no one should be able to stop him. not a single pe
state, and gave us the first tangible look at where republican voters stand right now. and tonight, iowa republicans delivered a resounding victory to donald trump, nothing hugely surprising there. but we re gonna still talk about what that means. with me here at the table, all-star panel, former obama campaign manager, msnbc political analyst, and as i always like to say, my old boss, david plouffe. and the host of the weekend on msnbc, michael steele, simone sanders townsend, and alicia menendez. everybody is working very hard over the last couple of days. nbc news can project that donald trump will exceed 50% tonight. we can also project that florida governor desantis will finish second, which is a bit surprising coming into tonight. we will bring you any updated numbers as soon as we get them, and we will stay closer to the decision desk, and of course, the one and only, steve kornacki. the field has also one candidate smaller tonight, vivek ramaswamy announced he was dro
stretch to new hampshire. does it help fuel or derail voters to the desantis or haley campaign? we are on the ground getting those answers and more. also, tonight, courtroom chaos. trump, ramping up his attacks against the judge in e. jean carroll case, yet again. the and has a new excuse for why he deserves a get out of jail free card for inciting an insurrection. what that means if he s allowed back into the oval office. and, the critical case that is now before the supreme court, and the billionaire who is banking on it and more, waiting to see a return on his investment. and associate justice, neil gorsuch. i m ayman mohyeldin, let s do it. we are just three days away from the new hampshire primary, where voters from that state could make or break the campaigns of donald trump s only two remaining rivals in this race. yet, it seems both nikki haley and ron desantis are already looking beyond to new hampshire, to the next contest in south carolina. the latest tra
impossible to separate donald trump s political fate from his legal one. trump today not knowing a victory lap over his major win in iowa, but spending the past several hours in a new york city courtroom. though he isn t required to be there at all. he isn t planning who hold a campaign rally in new hampshire until later tonight. why, you might ask? well, an nbc news entrance poll from iowa may provide a big clue. nearly two-thirds of republicans said he would still be fit to serve another term as president even if he s convicted of a crime. just 31% said it would make him unfit. so, the former president has been leaning into his court battles instead of shying away. using them as a platform, including a fund-raising platform. and as a political opportunity to show his supporters he s not afraid to fight. and that brings us to right now. the new trial involving e. jean carroll, the woman who trump was found civilly responsible of sexually abusing more than two decades ago. to
