No Kings Day: Challenging MAGA in the South
Join us as the Lean to the Left Podcast explores the recent nationwide No Kings Day rallies opposing Donald Trump's actions, including significant protests in Myrtle Beach, SC.

Vincent shares his experiences at the rally, emphasizing the unified opposition to tyranny and Trump's radical agenda. He highlights the growing public awareness and urgency around these issues.
The conversation shifts to Vincent's campaign platform, stressing support for veterans, reducing national debt, and genuinely representing the people of his district.
