from The Weeknight · host Symone Sanders Townsend, Michael Steele, Eugene Daniels, Cornell Belcher, Jeff Merkley, Abigail Spanberger
August 5, 2026, 7pm: Sen. Jeff Merkley joins The Weeknight to explain why he is introducing the "For Our Republic Act," which aims to curb Trump's escalating authoritarian abuses, and provide Congress with a roadmap to reassert its authority against him. And, after last night's tight primaries, Virginia Dems have an uphill battle to retake control of the House this fall. Gov. Abigail Spanberger sheds light on what she's doing to defend voting rights as Trump sows doubt in the midterm elections, and her party's efforts to flip key seats blue.
