"Why is it that the issues that most of the public agrees with — healthcare, living wages, voting rights, democracy — why is it that those issues weren't more up front?" We speak to Bishop William Barber about Joe Biden and Kamala Harris's failed election campaigns, Donald Trump's election as president and the urgent need to unite the poor and working class. Barber is the national co-chair of the Poor People's Campaign, president and senior lecturer at Repairers of the Breach and a co-author of the book White Poverty: How Exposing Myths About Race and Class Can Reconstruct American Democracy. He urges the Democratic Party to recenter economic security and poverty alleviation in its platform and draws on historical setbacks for U.S. progressive policies to encourage voters to "get back up" and "continue to fight."

Consumer advocate, corporate critic and former presidential candidate Ralph Nader comments on the reelection of Donald Trump and the failures of the Democratic challenge against him.

All eyes are on Michigan as Donald Trump and Kamala Harris battle over undecided voters in the crucial swing state, including many of the state's 200,000 Arab American and Muslim voters who reject both the Republican and Democratic parties' stance on Israel and Palestine. We speak to Dearborn, Michigan's Lebanese American Mayor Abdullah Hammoud, who is the first Arab and Muslim mayor of the city, about many of his constituents' loss of support for the Democratic Party and how the Arab American vote could impact the presidential election. Hammoud, like many Dearborn residents, has lost extended family to Israel's attacks on Lebanon, and describes the climate in the city as "a blanket of grief." Having called for a ceasefire and arms embargo on Israel, he refused to meet with Trump last week, but has also declined to endorse Harris. Hammoud calls on voters to not sit out the election entirely, but to "vote their moral conscience, and says the citizens of Dearborn are "willing to put people over party, first and foremost."
