What is in store for us the day after Election Day? Is it the beginning of a struggle to stop a Trump coup? Is it Day 1 of an all-out movement to force Biden to concede to the left-progressive agenda? Or is it just an extension of a prolonged political crisis? On Wednesday, Nov 4th, Ash-Lee Henderson of the Highlander Center and the Frontline joins host Diana Robinson to offer immediate reflections on election day and point us in the direction of whatever is next.
