PoliticsNation with Al Sharpton - Season 2025 Episode 70 -

On today's episode of Politics Nation, host Reverend Al Sharpton discusses recent demonstrations from the Capitol to Chicago, where Americans are voicing their anger against a presidential administration that is overstepping its power. The Voting Rights Act—the hallmark of the civil rights movement—is in jeopardy as Republicans initiate a redistricting arms race. Louisiana is asking the Supreme Court to weaken crucial protections of the Act, risking majority-minority congressional districts at a time when Trump is targeting Democrat-led cities for federal operations. We can expect significant developments this week, with insights from two congressmen deeply involved in this issue. Additionally, with the mayoral election just two months away and Trump visiting New York City today, I will speak with Democratic nominee Zohran Mam-Dani about his campaign and his plans if federal troops are deployed.
