Senate Democrats In Conversation With the Black Press

Mark took a trip to Capitol Hill to meet with nearly HALF of Senate Democrats, for what was a productive round-table discussion between lawmakers and African American journalists. No topic was off limits in this intimate conversation, including discussion on the Coronavirus outbreak (made worse for Americans by Trump's incompetent mishandling, according to Sen. Schumer), the disparities in our health care system, problems and proposed changes to our criminal justice system, the 2020 election, reparations, and more. Senators in attendance: Sen. Richard Blumenthal, Sen. Cory Booker, Sen. Sherrod Brown, Sen. Ben Cardin, Sen. Bob Casey, Sen. Chris Coons, Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto, Sen. Dick Durbin, Sen. Kamala Harris, Sen. Mazie Hirono, Sen. Doug Jones, Sen. Tim Kaine, Sen. Jeff Merkley, Sen. Patty Murray, Sen. Gary Peters, Sen. Jacky Rosen, Sen. Chuck Schumer, Sen. Tina Smith, Sen.
