Victor plays the comments and gets reaction from Darrick Hamilton, an economic expert who has advised members of congress and presidential candidates.

Judge Glenda Hatchett joins Victor to talk about how it may impact the final verdict. Luther “Uncle Luke” Campbell is one of four Black candidates that met up this week, trying to ensure the lawmaker who represents a minority district in Florida is Black, and not congresswoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz.
