    One Hundred Days

    On today’s episode of Politics Nation, host Reverend Al Sharpton examines the final countdown to the 2026 midterm elections and the growing political stakes for both parties. With voters expressing concerns about President Trump’s handling of the economy, mass deportation policies, and the war with Iran, Democrats could be positioned to make significant gains. Reverend Sharpton also explores Republican efforts to maintain power through redistricting, voter suppression, and political intimidation. As campaigns enter the final stretch, the episode examines what both parties are willing to do to win—and how much voters are willing to tolerate as the future of American democracy hangs in the balance.

    Back to the Brink

    On today’s episode of Politics Nation, host Reverend Al Sharpton leads with breaking news as U.S. Central Command announces the death of another U.S. service member connected to the war with Iran, killed during a controlled detonation of unexploded ordnance from a downed Iranian drone.

Senator Mark Kelly of Arizona, a member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, joins the discussion.
