Tonight on #PoliticsNation with Al Sharpton on MSNBC, I broke down the latest developments in Washington as the Senate works to end the nation’s longest government shutdown, now in its 40th day. I was joined by MSNBC reporter Kevin Frey, live from Capitol Hill, to discuss the ongoing negotiations, what’s at stake for working families, and how the outcome could shape the fight to protect the Affordable Care Act. | Al Sharpton

Today on MSNBC’s #PoliticsNation with Al Sharpton, we highlighted a powerful story about leadership, mentorship, and the next generation stepping up to serve. In Surry County, Virginia, 19 year old Cameran Drew made history winning a seat as county supervisor by just ten votes over his former high school civics teacher, Kenneth Bell. Both joined me to talk about the race, their mutual respect, and how this moment shows the importance of inspiring young people to lead in their own communities. |
