It's happened twice now - two women have run for the highest office in the land, hoping to be elected President of the United States. Publicly, women from all demographics said they were in favor of a female president - but then voted both times, in overwhelming numbers, for president-elect Donald J. Trump. While the smallest number who changed their minds in the voting booth were Black women, they too chose male leadership. It begs the question - why are women so distrustful of female leadership? Why are so many women skeptical about having a woman in charge? Is there anything to be done to change their minds? And in the case of Vice President Kamala Harris, which played a larger role - racism or sexism?

Political analyst Dr. Eric Claville joins us after Election Day for an in-depth analysis on the outcome of national, regional, and local elections - and the impact of the results on our country going forward.

Next year there will be 150,000 fewer doctors nationwide, according to the Association of American Medical Colleges.

Hampton Roads is not immune to this shortage. We take closer look at the doctor shortage issue and what can turn things around with our guests Dr. Armistead Williams, Dr. Elias Zerhouni, healthcare financial expert Bruce Holbrook, and Another View co-host, cardiologist Dr. Keith Newby.

The 2024-2025 school year is in session, and unfortunately for many African American students, the lessons may prove difficult because of poor reading skills. Black males in particular are struggling; according to published research, only 12% of Black males are proficient in reading by 8th grade. Renowned educator Dr. Jawanza Kunjufu says, "If a Black male is not proficient in reading by the 4th grade, they only have a 20% chance of graduating from high school on grade level." We explore the reasons for the low reading proficiency rate among children of color, and offer creative ways to make reading fun with our guests, reading specialists Kimberly Brown-McCray and Veronica Jones.
