hour gets underway on this monday night. good evening, once again, i m stephanie ruhle, live as msnbc headquarters right here in new york city. it is exactly one week until the caucuses. the first major nominating contest of the 2024 campaign. it will be a critical test for the twice impeached, four times indicted former president donald j trump and his fight to go for our republican front runner to the official nominee. over the next several days, he will bring his campaign to the courthouse. tomorrow, he will be a hearing on his claim of presidential immunity and on thursday, closing arguments in a civil fraud trial. meanwhile, president joe biden s super charging his attacks against donald trump, trying to fire up the democratic base. today, president biden focused on shoring up support among black voters. he gave a speech from the pulpit of charleston, south carolina. a church there were a right precipices shot and killed nine people back in 2015. the president drew a dir
republican debate, wednesday ten pm eastern, the day after tomorrow. i will see you here then. that s gonna do it for me for now. now it s time for the last word with lawrence o donnell. good evening, lawrence. good evening, rachel. at 9:30 a. m., it means i m gonna be glued to my sofa listening to msnbc, which i have to say is way more dramatic than images, for me, it actually carries what i guess was the drama of radio drama before television, you know, before i was around. and just your imagination is more active. and my concentration is better, i think, just locked on those words that we can hear. for me, it also means that i can, like, do the dishes, walk the dogs, and, like, get on the treadmill, although i probably wouldn t, while listening to it because i can focus on the audio like that in a way that i can t focus necessarily on taking it in visually. so, i mean, federal court ruling, d. c. circuit. a huge deal, huge implications for the case in general and wha
