States Look to Dsiqualify Donald Trump From Ballots

Dec. 4, 2024 – 19:05 – On this week’s edition of “The Hill with April Ryan,” theGrio’s Washington Bureau Chief and White House Correspondent, April D. Ryan, breaks down the legal debate before the Supreme Court on whether former President Donald Trump should be barred from the 2024 presidential ballot. Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass, a former member of Congress, tells theGrio that kicking Trump off the ballot is the wrong thing to do. She argued that Democrats should instead beat him at the voting polls.

Ryan is also joined by actor and activist Miss Lawrence, who speaks about the HIV/AIDS epidemic in the Black community.
