Shelton introduces Corey Bowman, a pastor and coffee shop owner running for mayor of Cincinnati, detailing how Bowman was inspired by his half-brother Vice President J.D. Vance's inauguration. He recounts a specific story where a bishop in Cincinnati almost signed a racist ad against Bowman but instead met him after a divine prompting, leading to a three-hour conversation and newfound friendship.
