Is waiting for the perfect candidate a risk voters can afford?

Dr. Nsenga Burton returns to Need to Know on A Black Executive Perspective with a forceful commentary on Black history, political accountability, and the stakes of the 2026 midterm elections.

She shares her concerns about the Trump administration, challenges voters to evaluate candidates’ full records, and argues that restoring checks and balances cannot wait. Her message is direct: vote as if your life depends on it.
