## Resource

Andrew Walworth, Tom Bevan, Carl Cannon and RCP Senior Elections Analyst Sean Trende discuss today’s Supreme Court’s decision on the Voting Rights Act and its possible impact on redistricting and the 2026 midterms. Then, they discuss yesterday’s appearances by King Charles, and recent revelations concerning the possible origins of the Covid virus and the alleged coverup of the so-called “lab leak theory". And then lastly, they discuss yesterday’s indictment of former FBI Director James Comey and FCC actions against Disney in the wake of the President and the First Lady’s calling for late night host Jimmy Kimmel to be fired over an on-air joke made by him last week.
