- 3 years ago
Author Tiffany Cross, who regularly appears on MSNBC as a political analyst, breaks down the meaning behind Joe Biden vetting several Black women to be his 2020 running mate and the criteria she’s looking at in vice president.
“I completely understand a lot of Black people saying, "Wait, don't ask for too much. We have a white supremacist in the White House. We just have to get rid of him." But when you sit at the epicenter of political power, if you don't use that power now, then when will you use it?," Cross said on "Salon Talks" with Dean Obeidallah.
Cross’s new book “Say It Louder!” is available now. Watch the episode above to hear more from Cross on why candidates need to retire the playbook from yesteryear and speak directly to Black voters.
