The ReidOut remembers a great American fighter, the late Harry Reid

We begin this episode of The ReidOut remembering a great American fighter, Harry Reid. The longtime Senate Democratic leader died Tuesday at the age of 82 after a four-year battle with pancreatic cancer. Next, new U.S. Covid-19 cases are at a record seven-day average of more than 265,000 per day, as of Tuesday. This is happening just days before kids return to the classroom after their holiday break, and child Covid-19 hospitalizations are up. Then we turn to Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis appearing to be missing in action as Omicron sweeps across his state. Florida commissioner of agriculture and consumer services, Nikki Fried, who is seeking the Democratic nomination for governor of Florida, joins The ReidOut to discuss. Finally, Derrica Wilson, co-founder and CEO of the Black and Missing foundation joins us on HBO's "Black and Missing," a documentary series featuring the work of the Black and Missing Foundation, which raises awareness of and searches for missing people of color. All this and much more in this edition of The ReidOut on MSNBC.
