  Speaker 1: BIN News This Hour, I'm Andrea Coleman. Coming up, hundreds
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: show up to push for justice for Nolan Wells. Plus,
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: we're broken. The family of a young black woman killed
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: in a rash a week in violence says they are broken.
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: And I don't pay attention to polls. I pay attention
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: to the souls. And I see how people are being
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: directly impacted by this federal administration.
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: Governor Wes Moore is just hours away from learning the
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: fate of redistricting in his state. But first, here's BIN
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: News Now.
• 0:29
  Speaker 3: New York City Mayor Saran Mamdani is encouraging voters to
• 0:32
  Speaker 3: head to the polls Tuesday. Speaking with the Black Information
• 0:35
  Speaker 3: Network's Vanessa Tyler, Mamdani criticized Michigan Congresswoman Haley Stevens for
• 0:40
  Speaker 3: endorsing Republican Senate candidate Mike Rogers. And frankly, the decision
• 0:44
  Speaker 3: by Congresswoman Haley Stevens to endorse the very Republican she
• 0:48
  Speaker 3: said she wanted to run against is a betrayal of
• 0:51
  Speaker 3: those very working class people. Mamdani says he has already
• 0:54
  Speaker 3: voted early and will spend Election Day at City Hall.
• 0:57
  Speaker 3: Georgia's governor's race is neck and neck ahead of Tuesday's election.
• 1:00
  Speaker 3: Recent polls show Republican Rick Jackson and Black Democrat Keisha
• 1:03
  Speaker 3: Lance Bottoms virtually tied. Jackson campaigned with Congressman Jim Jordan,
• 1:08
  Speaker 3: while Bottoms rallied with former Vice President Kamala Harris. And
• 1:11
  Speaker 3: Black New Jersey Senator Cory Booker is seeking a third
• 1:14
  Speaker 3: term against Republican Justin Murphy. Polls show Booker leading by
• 1:17
  Speaker 3: double digits, with some analysts suggesting a decisive victory could
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: fuel another presidential run in 2028. I'm Amber Payton with
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: BIN News Now. Back to you, Andrea.
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: Thank you, Amber. Hundreds of demonstrators marched across the Biloxi
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: Ocean Springs Bridge yesterday demanding answers in the death of
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: Mississippi teen Nolan Wells. Family members, civil rights activists, and
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: supporters from across the country participated in the Justice for
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: Nolan Xavier Wells March. The 18-year-old died following a trip
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: to Horn Island in July, and his family has continued
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: to question the circumstances surrounding his death. Demonstrators are calling
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: on the Justice Department and the FBI to conduct an
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: independent investigation. Organizers say the march is intended to keep
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: attention on the case and push for greater accountability. Family
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: members of 21-year-old Kinesia Scott told NBC Dallas-Fort Worth that
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: she will be missed.
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: She was living, not existing.
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: And when she walked in the room, she just brightened
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: the room. They was leaving a parking garage and people
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: just started shooting. And they looked back and she was
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: on the ground. Whoever did it, however many, they were cowards.
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: Because you're taking innocent lives.
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: The thing about it, did you even get your target?
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: Scott was a senior at Tarleton State University studying to
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: be a math teacher. She was one of four people
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: killed in three shootings in the Dallas area early yesterday morning.
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: At least 24 people were killed and nearly 100 more
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: wounded in shootings from coast to coast over the weekend.
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: Other shootings were reported in states from Maryland to California.
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: Many of the weekend shootings took place at clubs, around
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: school campuses and retail centers. The Dallas Police Department says
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: some arrests have been made in shootings there. They are
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: asking anyone with video from the scenes to contact their department.
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: Redistricting is on the ballot in Maryland this election. Governor
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: Wes Moore pushed hard to have the issue put before voters.
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: He recently told BIN's Vanessa Tyler that the issue is
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: about more than just redrawing the state's congressional maps.
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: Inflation is up, that unemployment, national employment is up, that
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: the gas prices are up, that grocery prices are up,
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: and Trump's bank account is up. And he is trying
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: to regulate elections so he does not have to be checked.
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: And so what question three is fundamentally saying is who
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: is in charge of our democracy? And I believe that
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: our democracy should be that Marylanders are in charge, not
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: Donald Trump. So a yes on question three really is
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: saying a no to what Donald Trump is trying to
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: do to our freedoms.
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: Moore is the only black sitting governor in the U.S.
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: right now and is running for re-election. Polls show him
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: with a comfortable lead in the race. Seven other black
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: candidates are also on the ballot in governor's races in
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: other states across the country. BIN will be monitoring the
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: election throughout the day and evening. Tune in at 7 p.m.
