Tonight, on an episode of Politics Nation, Reverend Al Sharpton discusses how President Trump will reach the 100-day mark of his second term in office on Tuesday. His return to the presidency has been marked by a series of executive actions that have challenged the fundamental principles of our democratic system. New polling suggests many Americans are upset and anxious about the direction the Trump administration is taking America. They are also dissatisfied with the president's job performance, even on issues that were once considered Trump's strengths, like immigration and the economy. Democrats are increasingly stiffening their spines and fighting back. Last night, Senate minority leader Chuck Schumer told Politics Nation that the constitutional crisis has arrived. Right now, Democratic House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries and New Jersey Senator Cory Booker are on the steps of Capitol Hill, holding a sit-in billed as an "urgent conversation with the American people" ahead of Congress returning to session tomorrow to debate Republicans' proposed budget plan.
