>President Trump wants the Pentagon to reduce joint military exercises with South Korea. Meanwhile, a top U.S. commander acknowledged reports of low morale and disturbing conditions aboard the USS Lincoln. Senator Jack Reed (D-RI), Ranking Member of the Armed Services Committee, joins Peter Alexander to discuss the latest developments from the Middle East.

>Florida State Rep. Angie Nixon, a member of the Democratic Socialists of America, won the Senate nomination in Tuesday’s primary in a surprise victory over Lt. Col. Alex Vindman. Following her historic win, the first DSA member to win a major party for statewide office, Nixon tells Morning Joe voters nationwide are "fed up" and "tired with the status quo."

>Republican Byron Donalds will face Democrat David Jolly in Florida's gubernatorial race. Jolly, who was formerly a Republican, joins Peter Alexander to discuss more on his campaign and why he believes he can win in President Trump's home state.

I seem to remember the mainstream media going batshit because Hillary Clinton had an email server next to her bidet.

I saw that when Jen Psaki chose to air him live during a WH address, some were upset with her, some felt she cut him off right when she should have, while others didn't seem to care either way. Her rationale was that she can't just ignore him. Of course she's right. But where's the happy medium?

Peter so far has been a minor disappointment.
The interview with the Florida Republican candidate yesterday was a jaw dropper.
I had trouble as the pol lied his ass off and Alexander just sat there, failing to correct the numerous falsehoods that fell from the candidate’s lips.

I have no idea what with wrong. The pol went unchallenged.

Maybe Peter Alexander isn’t the end-all, be-all I’d anticipated for MS NOW.
He’s kind of low energy.

I’ve been much more impressed with Vaughn.
Vaughn Hillyard deserves his own showcase on the network.

And pay attention this time!

Watching Erielle fill in for Alicia. She was previously on ABC, but I’m not sure of the show or timeframe.

Erielle is great and while I have loved Alicia since her American Voices weekend show, Erielle is a great catch for MS NOW and I’d love to see her more. The three hour shows are just too much.

She's on fire. And I don't mean her red hair. She's killing it. I'm learning a lot more about these candidates

>Rep. Jared Huffman, D-CA, joins Morning Joe to discuss his new book: “No Prophets: The Fight to Save Democracy from Christian Nationalism.” Huffman, a former devout Christian, tells Joe he wrote the book to “expose” what he calls the country’s “most dangerous political movement.” From behind the scenes of the Capitol, he explores in the book the strategy Christian nationalists use to push their agenda. Christian nationalism, Huffman says, “erupted for all of us to see,” during the Jan. 6 Capitol riot. But in the years since, Huffman says Congress has failed to confront the movement.

>The Associated Press projects Byron Donalds and David Jolly to win their respective primaries for Florida governor. Ali Velshi breaks it down at the Big Board.

>On Tuesday, House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-LA, blamed the war in Iran for interfering with a U.S. economy he claims was set to “take off like a rocket.” Joe slams the speaker’s comments, pointing to repeated warnings not to start a war with Iran.
