It’s News Day Tuesday on The Majority Report

On today’s program:

Republican gubernatorial candidate in Ohio, Vivek Ramaswamy, sinks to a new low by running a sleezy campaign featuring his opponent Amy Acton’s mother calling her a liar. Amy, who was sexually abused by her stepfather, has been estranged from her mother since childhood after she remained married to Amy’s abuser.

Amira Boland and Tara McGuinness, join to discuss their contribution to Just Security’s Reinvention Blueprints series: “A Government That Works for People.”

Amira Boland is the Chief of Staff of the New Practice Lab and former head of Federal Customer Experience at the Office of Management and Budget.

Tara McGuinness is the founder of the New Practice Lab and co-author of Power to the Public: The Promise of Public Interest Technology.

We take a look back at Ted Nugent admitting that he was granted legal guardianship over his underaged girlfriend.

Adam Friedland sows further division between Adam Sosnick and Patrick Bet-David.

A black MAGA activist is asked to leave a Ken Paxton event in San Antonio. She claims to be confused as to why she would be treated with such disrespect.
