The Democratic National Committee is bringing its Summer Meeting to Austin, Texas — a city where Black folks make up only 7 to 8 percent of the population — to vote on who goes first in the 2028 presidential primary. Minister Mike breaks down what that means for Black political power in Texas, then digs into the real controversy brewing in the U.S. Senate race: State Rep. Jolanda Jones’s public criticism of candidate James Talarico over Black voter outreach, his $25 million pledge to fix it, and the bigger question — do we sit out until politicians earn our vote, NO, we show up and hold them accountable!
