First Of All with Victor Blackwell

The Early Voting Data That May Reveal Clues About Election Day


Listen Later

“First of All” turns 1 this weekend! Victor has some reflections on all the stories we’ve covered so far over the past year.


But first, three days out from the election, millions of people have already voted. The chair of the Democratic party in Georgia, Representative Nikema Williams, shares what she thinks the turnout means for the presidential election.


Plus, can the man who pitched a "Muslim ban" for his first term rely on Muslim voters to help him win a second term? Former President Trump is trying, including with a visit to a city where their votes could help clinch a critical battleground. Victor speaks to a journalist who has been covering this community and the Trump campaign’s outreach to them.

 

Later, California voters are being asked if they want to ban forced labor in prisons and address a "slavery loophole" in the state's constitution. Sam Brown, who helped write the measure after his own experience working in prison, joins us.

 

Also, Washington Post columnist Theodore Johnson explains to Victor why he thinks Black voters may be about to usher-in a realignment in our politics.

 

And for the latest installment of our “Art is Life” series, Victor speaks to Winsome Bingham and E.B. Lewis, the author and illustrator of the children’s book “The Walk,” which teaches “voting is how grown folks speak up”.
