But when it made a stop at Howard University – during the university’s celebratory homecoming weekend – the reception felt mixed. Host Colby Itkowitz speaks with Features reporter Samantha Chery about Blexit’s strategy and how people reacted to its visit to Howard. Then, national politics reporter Sabrina Rodriguez speaks with Itkowitz about where the Black vote stands nationally. Today’s show was produced by Zoe Cummings, Sabby Robinson and Rennie Svirnovskiy.
