Bankole Thompson interviews veteran Michigan pollster Ed Sarpolus about why Vice President Kamala Harris' campaign failed to win the crucial battleground state of Michigan and why Gov. Gretchen Whitmer could not deliver for the campaign.
Additionally, Jonathan Kinloch, the chairman of the 13th Congressional District Democratic Party, explains why his party performed woefully in the election, how the Black vote continues to be taken for granted in Detroit, and what investments the party should make for future elections. Daniel Baxter, the chief of operations for absentee voting for the Detroit Department of Elections, discusses Harris' unprecedented underperformance and what it says about voting in the city.
Finally, Bankole speaks with Dr. Michael Busuito, who was just reelected to the Wayne State University Board of Governors, about the university's urban mission in the City of Detroit and whether it is meeting the demands of students coming from low-income backgrounds.
