About this episode

Janai Nelson, President of the Legal Defense Fund, and Jason Johnson, MS NOW political contributor, join The Weeknight to discuss. Plus, Republican Strategist Brittany Martinez joins the table to react to Trump barely getting his chosen candidates over the finish line in deep-red states.
