July 12, 2026; 5pm: On tonight’s episode of Politics Nation, host Reverend Al Sharpton begins by examining the uncertainty facing Washington as the U.S. and Iran resume hostilities, trading strikes in the Gulf while the Strait of Hormuz remains a dangerous and critical chokepoint. Meanwhile, on the domestic front, Sharpton highlights President Trump’s escalating actions against key pillars of American democracy, including the firing of election officials, raising new concerns about the upcoming midterm elections just four months away. In Mississippi, the family of Nolan Wells continues searching for answers following the 18-year-old’s death under mysterious circumstances during the Fourth of July weekend. Later in the episode, Politics Nation hears exclusively from Wells’ parents as they call for transparency and accountability in the investigation.
