Prop. 50 Strikes a Chord for Democrats Nationwide

from Political Breakdown · host KQED

The countdown to Election Day is on. Tuesday, Nov. 4 is the last day for Californians to cast their votes on Proposition 50, a measure that would replace current congressional lines drawn by a nonpartisan citizens commission with a map favoring Democrats. Recent polls suggest it’s likely to pass, a change that could reshape California's congressional map and potentially help Democrats in their bid to retake the House next year. Marisa, Scott and Guy break down the strategy driving Prop. 50 toward the finish line, and the national ripple effects it could have. Plus, they discuss the political fallout from the ongoing government shutdown. Check out Political Breakdown’s weekly newsletter, delivered straight to your inbox. Learn more about your ad choices.
