This week on Bankole’s Nation Extra, journalist Bankole Thompson offers an in-depth commentary and analysis about who the establishment is supporting in the ongoing Detroit mayor’s race between Mary Sheffield, the president of the Detroit City Council, and Solomon Kinloch, the senior pastor of Triumph Church. Thompson explains how Sheffield is clearly the establishment favorite and why top business leaders support him, along with Rev.
