Politics expert asks: Will Democratic leaders really listen to voters in 2022?

Tiffany Cross in for Joy Reid leads this edition of The Reid Out with this observation: While some may have had a racial reckoning after George Floyd's death in 2020, the Jan. 6 Capitol insurrection was a glaring warning that a significant portion of our country is threatened by an America no longer powered by White dominance, and one that takes accountability for our history. Then we turn to Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer promising a vote on the Build Back Better bill despite Joe Manchin's opposition. He has also promised to take up voting rights in the first two weeks of the new year, and signaled that he would force a change in Senate rules to overcome Republican obstruction. Plus, in a highly-anticipated phone call on Thursday, President Joe Biden spoke to Russian leader Vladimir Putin. The 50-minute call — which notably came at Putin’s request — is their second conversation this month about the escalating tensions at the Ukrainian border, where Russia has amassed thousands of troops. Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman, Ret. joins The ReidOut to discuss. Finally, we bring you the latest work of poet Amanda Gorman, "New Day's Lyric," as an inspirational close to 2021, and an encouraging boost as we head into 2022. All this and more in this edition of The ReidOut on MSNBC.
