The Don Lemon Show

Nicki Minaj's embrace of President Trump gets a blunt response from Don, RaeShanda Lias and Jemele Hill.

RaeShanda, the award-winning creator behind TikTok's "Let's check the board", is an Army veteran, author and diversity advocate. Jemele, an award-winning journalist and host of Spolitics, knows firsthand the backlash that comes with criticizing Trump: after she called him out in 2017.

Together, along with Dr Frita, they all unpack Nicki's political pivot, her comments about transgender kids and the hypocrisy they see in her MAGA alliance. This panel has plenty to say and holds nothing back.

Eight days to go, and Donald Trump looks like a man who knows it's slipping.

Overnight he sat down and wrote a Truth Social rant about Bill Maher, a guy he invited into the Oval Office. He spent the weekend at rallies bringing Nicki Minaj out on stage and going after Abdul El-Sayed. And on the same weekend, Barack Obama was in Detroit taking his whole presidency apart, one line at a time.

Today on the show: Trump's meltdown, what Obama said in Michigan, and where the Senate race actually stands. Then Nicki Minaj and Trump on one stage. We've got guests on what that moment means, and I've got a few things to say about it.

Trump's sweeping voter-fraud crackdown faces a major legal challenge after a federal judge ruled that Homeland Security's door-to-door investigations likely violate the Voting Rights Act. Federal agents have been knocking on doors, questioning residents about their voting history and making arrests as the administration expands its investigations into alleged noncitizen voting ahead of the midterms.

The judge's order is temporarily paused until Friday at 5 p.m., giving the administration an opportunity to appeal.

Former senior DHS official Miles Taylor joins Don to unpack the court ruling, the federal investigations and whether the Trump administration will comply with the judge's order.
