How the Supreme Court could reshape the midterms
Manage episode 513754137 series 1749669
The Supreme Court today will hear arguments in a case that could gut the Voting Rights Act, which would drastically reshape next year’s midterms. Some conservatives argue that consideration of race in drawing district lines is discriminatory and unconstitutional. But advocates warn that without the Voting Rights Act, minority populations would not have adequate representation in American politics. Playbook’s Jack Blanchard and White House reporter Megan Messerly walk through the potential outcomes, and what they mean. Plus, the latest on the Middle East ceasefire and the disappearing Pentagon press pool.
