Code Red II: Gerrymandering — The Political Battlefield That Will Define Elections to Come
from The Briefing Room · host Marcus S. Atkinson
On this episode of The Briefing Room, we break down how gerrymandering quietly reshapes power in America by allowing politicians to redraw district lines in ways that weaken communities, distort representation, and influence elections long before a single vote is cast. We explore how redistricting has become a high-stakes political war — including the growing fight within Republican circles as President Trump pushes an aggressive midterm redistricting strategy that puts him at odds with members of his own party. From Black voting power and broken districts to the broader future of democracy, Code Red II shows why this battle over maps is really a battle over who gets heard, who gets power, and who gets left behind.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-briefing-room--5656912/support.
