Summary
This hour, Newell addresses the Louisiana Senate and Governmental Affairs Committee, voting 4-3 along party lines to advance a Republican-backed congressional map that eliminates one of the state's two majority-Black, Democratic-leaning districts. Then, Michael Austin, Project 21 Ambassador at the National Center for Public Policy Research & Professor of Economics at Washburn University in Topeka, Kansas, joins the show to speculate on what may come of the meeting between President Donald Trump and President Xi Jinping.
