Long before Kamala Harris was elected Vice President, she broke barriers as a different kind of elected official: District Attorney.

For more than 230 years, the occupants of our nation’s highest offices have looked largely the same. Fortunately, that’s no longer true. This week, Kamala Harris will become the nation’s first woman Vice President. She will be the first Black woman and first South Asian woman in the role. So how did she get here? And perhaps even more importantly, how do we make sure she really isn’t the last?

Rep. Kathy Manning was sworn in on Sunday, January 3rd. Three days later, she was inside the Capitol when it was breached for the first time in more than a century. On this special episode, Jenny interviews her mom about what it was like to be in the room where it happened throughout a historic week.

In a state with split-ticket voters and historically tight margins, every single vote is up for grabs. With only one week until election day, Grace takes us to the most contentious areas in the state, to see which messages are resonating on the ground.

As much as Wisconsin’s dairy farmers are a microcosm of rural America’s struggle, so too is the deeply segregated city of Milwaukee a microcosm of racial inequality in this country. But in the 2016 post-mortem, only Milwaukee was blamed for its drop in voter turnout. This week, Grace takes us to 53206, one of the country's most incarcerated zip codes -- and the heart of Milwaukee's homegrown Democratic organizing.

We're wrapping things up where it all began: Greensboro, North Carolina. Jenny talks with her mom and Democratic nominee for the U.S. House of Representatives, Kathy Manning, about running in 2020. In the finale of our 2020 road trip, we hit perhaps the most contentious state in the country.

Dairy country is where Donald Trump racked up his largest margins in the state. These are the swing voters that propelled him to the White House. But four years later, these same voters are struggling to stay afloat amid trade wars, COVID-19, and Big Agriculture's siege on family farms. So this week, Grace asks the big question: Which way will Wisconsin's farmers swing this time?

Just a fortnight away from Election Day, we’re talking about what’s going down in Georgia. Specifically, we’re looking at the legacies of 2016 and 2018, the record number of Republican women running nationally for the House this November, and the complicated role of incumbency advantage in one particular race.

The story of why Wisconsin went red in 2016 starts long before any votes were cast for Donald Trump or Hillary Clinton. This week, Grace takes us back to the election of Governor Scott Walker, whose Conservative agenda shaped Wisconsin's trajectory and laid the groundwork for Donald Trump.

Florida is always making election headlines. Why the constant drama? Jenny talks with Rep. Debbie Mucarsel-Powell and Rep. Val Demings about what makes Florida such a constant battleground state and how they're working to earn their constituents' votes.

Tune in for a special preview of WMN's new show, Winning Wisconsin, an original series about the unlikely decider of the 2016 election and whether America's Dairyland could once again determine our nation's future.

Dr. Hiral Tipirneni joins Jenny to discuss what it's like to run in the 6th district as all eyes turn towards the Grand Canyon State.
