This transition from his previous success on The Weekend reflects the growing dynamic of political discourse on cable television.
Steele, who trained as an attorney, is known for his candid takes on the GOP’s internal struggles. He criticizes the current state of the Republican Party, expressing concern over its drift from core values. Citing a troubling mix of nationalism and internal conflict, he argues that the party has failed to maintain the ideals rooted in Lincoln’s vision of freedom and individual rights.

He expressed admiration for current Maryland Governor Wes Moore and praised Democratic Senator Chris Van Hollen’s integrity, demonstrating his commitment to bipartisanship. “Regardless of party lines, the rule of law and responsibility to constituents should come first,” he stated.
As he embarks on his new role with co-hosts Symone Sanders-Townsend and Alicia Menendez, Steele envisions The Weeknight as a blend of journalism, analysis, and opinion. The show’s fresh format aims to present timely insights into current events while maintaining a relatable tone for viewers.
