    In a recent segment of " Run Tell That" On The Rashad Richey Morning Show . Dr. Rashad Richey and Senator Nina Turner discussed the recent political events that have been making headlines.

    One of the key topics of discussion was the surprising outcome of the Nevada primary, where Nikki Haley lost to a candidate named "None of the Above." This unusual result shed light on the diversity of the electorate in Nevada and the discontent with traditional candidate options.

    The conversation then shifted to the actions of the Democratic National Committee (DNC) in Alabama, where they made controversial decisions regarding delegate selection. By overriding the state's process and appointing their own delegates, the DNC faced backlash from black voters who felt disenfranchised by the move. The discussion further emphasized the challenges within political parties, which often prioritize certain candidates and agendas over others, raising questions about fairness and representation.

    Amidst the political analyses, Sen. Turner and Dr. Richey took a moment to celebrate the recent success of rapper and activist Killer Mike . Known for his impassioned advocacy and unapologetic stance on social justice issues, Killer Mike's recent Grammy wins were viewed as a testament to his dedication to speaking truth to power. They both shared personal stories of their interactions with Killer Mike, highlighting his genuine character and commitment to uplifting his community.

    Transitioning into a discussion on social media's impact on modern politics, Sen. Turner shared her insights on the power of platforms like Twitter and Facebook in shaping political discourse and mobilizing communities. She emphasized the importance of utilizing social media as a tool for advocacy and connecting with constituents. The conversation then shifted to the ongoing national debate on healthcare reform, with Sen. Turner advocating for universal healthcare to ensure comprehensive coverage for all Americans.
