Summary
Andrew Walworth, Tom Bevan, Carl Cannon and RCP Senior Elections Analyst Sean Trende discuss today’s decision by the Virginia State Supreme Court to strike down the state’s recently passed redistricting plan designed to give Democrats more congressional seats in the 2026 midterms. Also, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio Cortez (D-NY) said on a recent podcast that it's impossible to “earn” a billion dollars in America, and that such a fortune could only be acquired through some sort of theft. Then, Greg Swenson, chairman of Republicans Overseas UK and cofounder of the Hamilton Society, joins the guys to discuss yesterday’s local and regional elections in the UK, where the Reform UK Party made big gains against both the Labour and the Conservative Parties, and the implications of the election results for the future of the MAGA movement in the U.S. Next, they talk about the first-ever “Enhanced Games” to be held in Las Vegas later this month, where elite athletes will compete using performance enhancing drugs banned by other international sports federations. And then finally, they dish up their “You Cannot Be Serious” stories for the week. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
