One Thing: What the Redistricting ‘Race to the Bottom’ Actually Looks Like

from CNN 5 Things · host CNN Podcasts

At the urging of President Donald Trump, multiple Republican-led states in the South have move quickly to redraw congressional maps in the wake of the Supreme Court decision last month that critics say will significantly weaken the Voting Rights Act of 1965. In Louisiana, the Black congressman who represents the district at the heart of that Supreme Court case says Democrats can't stand by and need to act. So what happens now? And with the midterms less than six months away, how could it impact voters across the country?  For more: How the Republicans pulling ahead in the redistricting war affects the midterms  ---  Guest: Rep.
