Black Men, Political Power and Economic Change

This is a big one, right? And I think it's a juxtaposition story, which is why I'm happy we're talking about it.

And it starts, this story starts us in North Carolina.

It's a moving story.

So over the weekend, the Republicans announced that they're leaving North Carolina.

They're basically pulling out of North Carolina's Senate seat because they don't think there's a chance they can win.

So they're abandoning Mr. Whatley, who was a former chair of the Republican National Committee.

And they're like, we're going to stop.

We're going to stop spending here.

We don't think we can, you know, the numbers are finite, the money is finite, so we're peacing out.

And they've decided to make an investment to shore up their chances to win the state of Kansas, where they seem to be in a little bit of trouble because Democrats are within striking distance.

So this raises the natural question.

So if Republicans are pulling out of North Carolina because they think Democrats will win there, and Democrats have been investing heavily in North Carolina, Right.

And I guess, yes, we can throw some dollars at Kansas, but there seems to be other opportunities.

And we talked about this last week on the show where there seemed to be a chance for for Democratic pickups.

And a lot of the candidates that are running in those other opportunities look like me and they look like you.

One of them happens to be our girl.

We spend a lot of time talking about her on the show.

And we'll continue to talk about her because her chances of winning here are real.

Uphill battle, but real.

And that's our girl, Angie Nixon.

Over the weekend, last week she did an interview on a CBS Florida show talking about her life as a single mother and how she struggled.

Let's take a listen to it and we'll talk about it on the other side of the clip.

Watch this.

So I'll tell you something personal.

So I was a single mom for 12 years.
