LEMON DROP: Haley Stevens Disowned by Michigan Democrats After Shocking Defection
2026/11/03 | 26 mins.Political chaos has erupted in Michigan after Democratic Congresswoman Haley Stevens stunned her own party by endorsing Republican Mike Rogers over Democratic Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed, just days before the midterm elections.
Now, Michigan Democratic Party Chairman Curtis Hertel Jr. joined Don to discuss the extraordinary fallout.
Hertel has declared Stevens is no longer part of the Michigan Democratic Party following her controversial endorsement, which sparked outrage among fellow Democrats, resignations within her own staff and praise from President Donald Trump.
Don presses Hertel on the stunning political rupture, Stevens' decision to announce her endorsement at a Black church on Souls to the Polls Sunday, and the consequences for one of the country's closely watched Senate races.

2026/11/02 | 1h 3 mins.Donald Trump has delivered one of the most unusual presidential appearances on the eve of the midterm elections - spending much of his speech boasting about renovations to the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool as voters prepare to decide who controls Congress.
Don reacts to the extraordinary spectacle and is joined by former U.S. Pardon Attorney Liz Oyer to discuss Trump's controversial use of presidential pardons, including clemency granted to political allies and members of his inner circle.
Are presidential pardons being used to serve justice or reward political loyalty? What safeguards exist against potential abuses of presidential power? And what does Trump's latest appearance tell us about his priorities ahead of Election Day?

2026/11/02 | 24 mins.Once a vocal critic of Donald Trump's rhetoric on race, South Carolina Senator Tim Scott, has transformed into one of the president's most loyal defenders. And his latest appearances are raising eyebrows.
From entertaining talk of Trump serving beyond the constitutional two-term limit to repeating an offensive anti-transgender slur targeting Democratic Senate candidate Dr. Annie Andrews, Scott's political transformation is back in the spotlight.
Don delivers a blistering takedown of Scott's MAGA makeover, revisiting his past criticism of Trump, his failed 2024 presidential campaign and his increasingly vocal support for the president.
His guests are historian and political commentator Ruth Ben-Ghiat, and Danielle Belton, former editor-in-chief of The Root and HuffPost.
