The Governors Race in Florida Takes A Racist Turn
Episode description
Ron DeSantis is the Republican candidate for Governor in the state of Florida. He's running against Tallahassee mayor Andrew Gillum. On Wednesday, DeSantis says Florida doesn't want to "monkey it up" by electing Gillum. It's an obvious slur that is straight from the Trump playbook. We talk about what impact that could have on the race and how Gillum's politics will play in Florida.
White House Counsel Don McGahn got the boot. Trump announced that McGahn is departing the White House. The only problem is.... Trump didn't tell McGahn before he tweeted about it. Sloppy in all aspects.
Plus, Trump doubles down on how well he's done with Puerto Rico. This is despite the updated death count, which is MUCH higher than originally reported.
We talk to The Hill's Cate Martel, ThinkProgress's Addy Baird and HuffPost's Kevin Robillard!
