    Justice for Cyrus? Trump, Democracy & The Midterm Elections

    Send us Fan Mail AJ Davis and Matt Hasty join Brooks and Hendricks to discuss South Carolina politics, the Cyrus Carmack-Belton verdict, Trump’s second term, redistricting, the midterm elections, and the growing political divide in America. A thoughtful conversation from opposing perspectives on some of today’s biggest political issues. In this episode of the Black Summit Podcast, Brooks and Hendricks are joined by Democrat AJ Davis and conservative Matt Hasty for a passionate discussion on the issues shaping South Carolina and the nation. We discuss the upcoming South Carolina elections and the impact local politics can have on communities across the state. We also examine the controversial verdict in the case of Cyrus Carmack-Belton, the 14-year-old whose death sparked national conversations about race, justice, and accountability. The conversation then shifts to President Donald Trump’s second term, the challenges facing both political parties, and the issues likely to dominate the upcoming midterm elections. We also break down redistricting, gerrymandering, and whether either party has an advantage heading into 2026. Finally, AJ and Matt debate one of the most important questions in American politics today: Which party poses the greater threat to democracy and the Constitution—Democrats or Republicans? Join the conversation and let us know where you stand in the comments.
