How Redistricting Will Shape the Midterms; SCOTUS Allows Abortion Pill Access (For Now)

from Here's the Scoop · host Yasmin Vossoughian, jane timm, Laura Jarrett

We’ve seen a slew of redistricting efforts across the country since the Supreme Court weakened a key provision of the Voting Rights Act in Louisiana v. Callais. NBC News senior reporter Jane C. Timm explains how the redrawn maps could shape elections across the country in this year’s midterms — and for years to come. Then, NBC News senior legal correspondent Laura Jarrett breaks down why the same Supreme Court that struck down Roe v. Wade just decided to temporarily reinstate nationwide abortion pill access by mail. And Laura also previews tomorrow’s episode of “Here’s the Scoop, Supreme Court Edition,” in which former ACLU national legal director David Cole analyzes how the court may rule on cases involving transgender athletes in school sports.
