Before addressing the 2026 March on Washington, Virginia Governor Abigail Spanberger came by my RV and spoke with me, nationally renowned civil rights attorney Ben Crump, and Rainbow PUSH Coalition President and CEO Yusef D. Jackson.

Good to have a moment together before we took the stage to Defend the Vote.

As we close out our 15th anniversary celebration of #PoliticsNation, I simply want to say thank you.

Thank you to everyone who has watched, supported, worked on, appeared on and believed in this show over the last 15 years. And thank you to everyone who helped make this anniversary so special.

We’ve covered a lot of history together, but the work continues. We’re going to keep speaking truth, fighting for justice and giving the people a platform.

All glory to God for 15 years and the opportunity to continue doing this work.

15 years down, and we’re still going. See you next weekend.

What started as two people on different sides of many issues has grown into a real friendship and mutual respect over the years.

Thank you to my colleague and friend Joe Scarborough, co-host of Morning Joe, for surprising me during our 15th anniversary celebration of #PoliticsNation.

I appreciate Joe’s kind words about my leadership, our work on voting rights and racial equity, the March on Washington and more. I also thank Joe, Mika, and the entire Morning Joe family for always making room for me at their table.

We may not always agree, but we’ve learned to laugh with each other along the way. That’s what it should be about.

15 years of #PoliticsNation, what a journey.

As we looked back at some of the moments that have defined this show, I’m reminded that none of it happens alone.

Thank you to every producer, staff member and members of my team who has helped bring @PoliticsNation to the air over the last 15 years, and to the network for continuing to give us this platform through the years and changes.

Thank you to the countless guests who have come on to break news, share their stories, challenge us and help keep the public informed.

And most importantly, thank you to the viewers who have watched, supported and stayed with us. You are the reason we’ve been able to do this for 15 years.

Thank you, thank you, thank you. All glory to God, we’re not done yet.

Thank you to civil rights attorney Ben Crump for helping us celebrate 15 years of #PoliticsNation on MS NOW.

We reflected on our years together in the fight for justice, from the early days of bringing national attention to the killing of Trayvon Martin, to George Floyd and the fight for police reform, voting rights, racial equity and so much more.

Coming off the March on Washington, where we both stood to Defend the Vote, we know the work is far from over. The fight for justice continues.
