Is a. rye left or right?
Angela Rye is a progressive attorney and political commentator aligned with the Democratic Party, with deep institutional roots: she was executive director and general counsel of the Congressional Black Caucus for the 112th Congress (2011-2013) and now runs the advocacy firm IMPACT Strategies. She was a liberal CNN commentator until the network declined to renew her contract in early 2021, and in 2024 she co-founded Reasoned Choice Media with Charlamagne tha God and launched the iHeart podcast Native Land Pod with Tiffany Cross and Andrew Gillum, a no-holds-barred Black-politics roundtable. Her focus is racial justice and Black political power, often pressing Democrats to deliver for Black voters rather than offering uncritical party support. The show entered a new phase in October 2025 when CNN commentator Bakari Sellers joined as a host and the pod added a Substack.
