Show by H2 Productions
Dr. Greg Carr, Lamont King, and guest host Tiffany Cross examine the election results and what they could mean for the Democratic Party heading into 2028. They weigh Gavin Newsom’s commutation of death sentences in California, J.B. Pritzker’s call to raise the federal minimum wage, and proposals for ethics reform, while debating whether centrist Democrats can still win by chasing conservative voters. The hosts also discuss shifting political power in states including Texas, Pennsylvania, Alabama, and Florida—and the importance of turning election victories into real changes for working families. Callers share stories from the polls, raise concerns about Alabama’s proposed Project Red Clay data center, and discuss voter participation and election challenges in Mississippi. Cross reflects on the organizing that helped build a broad coalition of voters, the role of Black women and grassroots leaders, and the need for Democrats to listen to the communities that delivered their wins. Legal Defense Fund President and Director-Counsel Janai Nelson warns that the work continues after Election Day, urging voters to hold elected officials accountable and fight for voting rights protections, court reform, and a more expansive vision of civil and human rights. Congressman Al Green calls for a Black agenda centered on parity and bold demands, and urges new lawmakers to show the courage to challenge their own party and defend the Constitution.
