Summary
10.21.2025 #RolandMartinUnfiltered: Our Voices, Our Vote: VA Town Hall, Shutdown Day 21, Hakeem Jeffries Under Threat
We are LIVE in Fredericksburg, Virginia, at the Vision Community Church for a special edition of Roland Martin Unfiltered "Our Voices, Our Vote" Town Hall, powered by Virginia House Democrats and the Virginia Legislative Black Caucus.
We'll talk to Democratic candidates who are vying for and defending their seats in the upcoming November elections.
It's day 21 of the government shutdown. The Senate failed to pass the bill to reopen the government a dozen times. The House of Representatives remains in recess, and Democratic leaders say they are ready to negotiate with Republicans to get the government running again.
And a pardoned Jan. 6 terrorist is behind bars for allegedly threatening to kill House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries.
