Summary
This morning, we’ve got a lot to unpack. First, we head to Tennessee to break down the escalating redistricting fight and growing concerns about efforts critics say could dilute Black voting power. Justin J. Pearson joins us to discuss what’s happening, what’s at stake, and why this battle could have major implications beyond Tennessee. Then we pivot to the midterms and the fight for young voters with political pollster and strategist Joshua Doss and activist Cameron Kasky. Are Democrats doing enough to energize younger voters, and could turnout determine the future of the election? And finally, we tackle growing concerns around hantavirus with friend of the show Dr. Frita. What is it, how does it spread, and how worried should people actually be? Politics, public health, democracy, it’s all coming up this morning. This episode is sponsored by FFRF. Visit https://ffrf.us/don or text DON 511511 to join or learn more.
