January 28, 2026 - Gov. Mikie Sherrill

Desi Lydic dives into the Trump administration's scramble to blame each other for the handling of Alex Pretti's shooting by federal agents in Minnesota, Trump's rally against Congresswoman Ilhan Omar, who was attacked at a town hall in the wake of his demonizing rhetoric, and the president's rollout of Trump Accounts, which he announced alongside MAGA's newest spokeswoman, Nicki Minaj. In this edition of In My Opinion, Whitney Cummings profiles the Democratic politicians lined up for the 2028 presidential race, from Josh Shapiro to Gavin Newsom, and the quirky penchants for cosplay, veganism, and convicted felons that they bring to the table. New Jersey Governor Mikie Sherrill, who recently became the nation's first woman veteran to be elected governor, sits down with Desi Lydic to discuss how her time serving in a gridlocked Congress motivated her to run for governor and the difference she's already seen in her ability to create change.
