blows, and others go with a choppy twitter space feed with elon musk. no video. i thought, yes, this is amusing. it was supposed to be a finger in the eye to the establishment. we re not playing your game. we re not doing it the way it s been done. we re a different campaign. i ll sit down with elon musk and do it on twitter, and that backfired. it ll matter for, what, 24 hours, and then he steps out there and becomes a real candidate, mika. we ll see if he can do it. yeah, it s the long game. we ll be watching. along with joe, willie and me, we have the president of the national action network and host of msnbc s politics nation, reverend al sharpton. former white house director of communications to president obama, jen palmieri. and nbc news national affairs analyst john heilemann. they re both co-hosts of showtime s the circus. before we get to politics, reverend al, she was electric on stage, ahead of her time, simply the best, tina turner. talk about her passing, what
the campaign raised $1 million online in one hour. a top adviser claimed more than 700,000 people joined the virtual rollout. the florida governor enters the race with a big cash advantage. politico reported last month his state re-election account had $80 million left from his gubernatorial race. didn t need it, won by 19 points. that can be transferred to a federal pac. a super pac for desantis reportedly raised $33 million. that official number will not be made public until july. so that may be the point, jen, for the campaign, that they got attention. it wasn t the kind they wanted but they raised a bunch of money and this won t matter in the long term. as someone who is the communication director as john heilemann listens to tina turner on his phone there. give me your phone. it s fair. a small glitch. you ve had these before. wait. that was bill clinton in 1992. i was doing some research for this segment.
