Aaron Haynes of *The 19th* discusses Black women as the "backbone" of the Democratic Party and their role in the "resistance" since 2016. The hosts revisit a previous show where they analyzed Haynes's influence and her efforts to center Black women in political discourse. They note that she secured the first sit-down interview with Kamala Harris after the VP announcement.
*The 19th*, a newly formed non-profit news organization, is revealed to be funded by major philanthropic entities including the Ford, Rockefeller, and Knight Foundations, as well as James and Catherine Murdoch. Despite having a small social media following, the outlet wields enough power to control the first major interview with Kamala Harris. The hosts critique the organization's "diversity" while noting its leadership is predominantly white.
