Election law expert Marc Elias joins Katie to discuss that case, his ongoing legal battles through Elias Law Group and Democracy Docket, and the broader fight over voting rights. Katie also unpacks the latest political scandals in Washington, from the sexual assault allegations against Graham Platner to Mitch McConnell’s disappearance, as well as updates on the Iran conflict and Belgium’s trolling of Trump after knocking the U.S. out of the World Cup.
