On the second episode of The Caucus Room, Omarosa Manigault Newman discusses her unlikely rise from America's most visible reality TV star, to serving in two completely different White House environments. Omarosa talks with Don Calloway about growing up in Youngstown, Ohio, as a pageant girl, her dual HBCU experiences at Central State and Howard, learning the political ropes in DC working at the DNC under Gov. Terry McAuliffe, and as a Clinton administration official, the Presidential appointments process, how she met Donald Trump on the Apprentice, and came to join his administration, and ultimately, how she came to embrace the reality villain persona.

On the first episode of The Caucus Room, Dr. Wes Bellamy discusses his remarkable rise to becoming a national political figure.  Wes talks with Don Calloway about growing up with Atlanta's Maynard mentality, witnessing Charlottesville's deadly tiki torch white supremacist riot from the inside, running a modern digital campaign, being an HBCU graduate and professor, serving as Vice Mayor of Charlottesville, Virginia, Thomas Jefferson's legacy of slavery in the city, becoming a fitness influencer, founding Our Black Party, thirst trapping on the gram, his unlikely friendship with Jeezy, and who is next up in local and national politics.  And of course Dr. Wes is a Nupe, so we are featuring Diggs Boys Bourbon as this week's Spirit of the Caucus.
