Inside the “No Kings” Protests — and What Comes Next

Video Description

Robert Weissman (Co-President, Public Citizen) joins Chris Cuomo following the No Kings protests of October 18, 2025 — a nationwide movement that drew an estimated five to seven million people across more than 2,700 U.S. cities in what organizers call the largest single-day protest in American history. As one of the event’s lead organizers, Weissman explains how Public Citizen, the progressive consumer-advocacy group founded by Ralph Nader, helped mobilize Americans around the message that no president — not even Donald Trump — stands above the law. Cuomo and Weissman discuss what the protests reveal about public frustration with corruption, corporate influence, and creeping authoritarianism — and whether people power can still shape policy in a second Trump term. Weissman argues that mass protest is only the beginning of a longer fight for accountability. Plus, Chris looks at the Maine Senate race between Republican Susan Collins and Democrat Graham Platner — and how Kalshi’s betting markets reflect growing doubt about Platner’s future in the race and Collins’s fading prospects as Democrats hold an edge for Senate control.
