This Week's UPDATES

About last night, I went into the Jamaica Multiplex Cinemas theater, into the Endgame if you will, and it felt like I came out a change person. This after seeing what is maybe the Greatest Superhero Movie Ever Created, Avengers: Endgame hits on all cylinders and has broken numerous box office records while grossing over millions of dollars in the United States and around the whole Wideworld. According to Deadline.com, the film now holds the records for Fastest to hit $150 million and Highest Saturday gross in North America which were held by last year's Avengers: Infinity War, plus the records for Fastest to $100 million, Highest single-day gross, Highest opening day gross, Highest previews gross, and Highest Friday gross in North America all of which held by Star Wars: The Force Awakens. If things keep going right for Endgame, which has currently made $358M+ in its Opening Weekend, it could make a Billion dollars by this time tomorrow and that would be history in the making. I'll keep all of you viewers posted this week to see what other records the movie has broken as we have reached the conclusion to what has been a decade's journey of memorable moments that will be talked about for years to come, elsewhere, take a look at this week's 7-Day Postcast full of goodies to go around.

Our Main Story this week concerns the 2020 Presidential Election, as the number of Democratic candidates running against Donald Trump has risen towards 21 Last week, Seth Moulton and Joe Biden announced their candidacies and will join the likes of Cory Booker, Elizabeth Warren, Beto O'Rourke, Tim Ryan, Eric Swalwell, Kamala Harris, Kristen Gillibrand, Amy Klobuchar, Bernie Sanders and many more in the Race for the White House. One potential candidate that I want to discuss is Stacey Abrams, the Former State Representative of Georgia, everyone knows her well from the 2018 Midterm Elections last November when she came close to winning the Governorship in Georgia but lost in a narrow defeat by Republican Brain Kemp. Last January, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer announced that Abrams would deliver the response to the State of the Union address on February 5th, making her the first African-American woman to give the rebuttal to the address, as well as the first and only non-office holding person to do so since the SOTU responses began in 1966. Now, questions remains on what's next for Stacey Abrams, will she: a.) have a gubernatorial rematch against Brian Kemp in 2022? b.) run against the Republican Senator of Georgia David Perdue in 2020? or c.) go for the big one and run for the White House in either 2020 or as late as 2028? To find the right answer to this, dive into the these videos that I have put together in a new Web Choice playlist featuring Abrams in several interviews.
