THIS EPISODE: One hundred days from the 2020 U.S. Senate races, many Democratic candidates are promising change and more inclusive leadership. Meet two Democratic U.S. Senate candidates who have outraised their incumbents, Jaime Harrison of South Carolina, and Mike Espy of Mississippi. AND: The Senate GOP’s proposals for the next coronavirus bills are called ‘cruel’ by Rep. Ayanaa Pressley (D-MA), who tells Tiffany Cross, ‘What we find ourselves on the precipice of is an eviction tsunami that threatens the public health[.]’ NEXT: Donald Trump may battle Never Trump Republicans in alliance with Democrats. Tiffany Cross and her guests discuss whether Democrats and Never Trump GOPers can form a lasting alliance. PLUS: The John R. Lewis Voting Rights Act of 2020 will be introduced in the House on Monday, Rep. and House Majority Whip James Clyburn tells AM JOY. Clyburn also tells host Tiffany Cross, ‘Most people know that this is a democracy, and this democracy has shown the world how to govern for centuries. We cannot allow one uncouth person to take us back.’ PLUS: Joy Reid makes a special appearance on AM JOY with the message that John Lewis should have the 2020 vote dedicated to him. All this and much more in a very important edition of AM JOY, during which we witness the crossing of John Lewis’ casket over the Pettis Bridge, in continued commemoration of his Civil Rights legacy.
