May 17, 2026; 5pm: On today’s episode of PoliticsNation, Rev. Al Sharpton examines how this week’s primary elections could become a major test of voter frustration following the Supreme Court’s recent decision in Louisiana v. Callais. The ruling effectively gutted the Voting Rights Act. As voters across several states head to the polls, the episode explores how Americans are evaluating both President Trump’s leadership and the Democratic opposition ahead of the 2026 midterms. Sharpton also highlights growing concerns among Black voters in Southern states where voting rights advocates warn of increasing threats to political representation and ballot access. Following a weekend of voting rights rallies, the program focuses on the stakes of the upcoming elections and the broader fight over democracy, representation, and Black political power in America.
