Redistricting Wars Backfire

from The Weekend Hosted by Eugene Daniels, Jackie Alemany, Laura Barrón-López, Annalyse Keller, Angelo Carusone, Ty Cobb, Rep. Kevin Kiley

November 23, 2025; 9am: Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito paused a lower court’s ruling that barred Texas from using its recently redrawn congressional map that could net up to five additional seats for Republicans. But if the lower court’s ruling goes through, it will hamper Trump’s redistricting efforts, especially given that California won its redistricting proposition. California’s Prop 50 could give the state an additional five seats for Democrats. California Republican Congressman Kevin Kiley says his party had a “total failure in leadership” after starting a chain reaction that led to Democrats redrawing his district. He joins “The Weekend” to discuss.
