THIS EPISODE: House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) joins AM JOY to champion the Democrat-led provisions of the coronavirus relief bill being debated in Congress, noting that these provisions give more money to cash-strapped Americans, and address the failure of GOP leaders to create a comprehensive, national plan for dealing with the pandemic. AND: Former Attorney General Eric Holder debunks the unfounded fears of mail-in voting of the president and William Barr, who apparently believe vote-by-mail will increase voting fraud. (It will not, according to research.) Holder tells host Jonathan Capehart, ‘What it does do is increase turnout.’ NEXT: Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell’s Democratic opponent in the Kentucky U.S. Senate race Amy McGrath calls for change and safe mail-by-vote this November, adding, ‘It's the Senate through McConnell that needs to provide the resources for no excuse, absentee mail-in balloting in the fall. He has not done that.’ PLUS: A record number of black women are running for Congress in 2020. Jonathan speaks with five of these major contenders who are all running in majority-white districts, confident in the fact that their potential constituents are hungry for change and effective leadership. All this and more in this Sunday edition of AM JOY on MSNBC.
