DeSantis is in damage control mode after failing to launch without extreme awkwardness, glitchy failures

In this episode of The ReidOut, Joy Reid and her guests examine how the Republican presidential candidates, except for Donald Trump, flocked to Iowa to embrace wildly unpopular issues like an extreme abortion ban. Is this the way to win a presidential election? Joy and her panel discuss. Plus, DeSantis is in damage control mode after failing to launch without extreme awkwardness and glitchy failures. Can he reassure right-wing donors and activists that he is not Scott Walker or Jeb Bush? Our political analysts bring their perspectives. Also in this episode, we bring you new reporting on a target letter sent by the special counsel to a Trump staffer, which could be an indicator of how Jack Smith plans to prosecute the classified documents case. All this and more in this edition of The ReidOut on MSNBC.
