Podcasts about gerrymander

Hillsdale College Radio General Manager and Radio Free Hillsdale Hour host Scot Bertram fills in for Jim on Wednesday's 3 Martini Lunch. Join Scot and Greg as they break down Democrats' bigger-than-expected wins in Virginia and New Jersey, Zohran Mamdani coasting to victory in New York City, and several ballot initiatives that mostly went the wrong way.First, they dig into Virginia, where Democrat Abigail defeated Lt. Gov. Winsome Earle-Sears by nearly 15 points, outperforming every major poll. That landslide also helped rage texter Jay Jones win the attorney general's race by six points, while Democrats picked up 13 seats in the state legislature. In New Jersey, Democrat Mikie Sherrill beat Jack Ciattarelli by 13 points. The wins were not shocking, but the margins were, and Scot and Greg break down what those results mean heading into 2026.Next, they come to grips with Zohran Mamdani winning the New York City mayor's race by taking comfort that Andrew Cuomo won't be mayor. They also highlight some very ominous indications of what's to come from Mamdani's victory speech. Dems will undoubtedly try to mimic his smiley socialism in some parts of the country next year. Are Republicans ready to fight it?Finally, they analyze key ballot measures across the country, including strong conservative victories in Texas protecting parental rights and requiring proof of citizenship to vote. But not all results went the right way, as Gavin Newsom's gerrymander gimmick passed easily in California, and Colorado voters approved a tax hike on the wealthy to fund free school meals.Please visit our great sponsors:Give your liver the support it deserves with Dose Daily.  Save 35% on your first month when you subscribe at https://DoseDaily.co/3ML or enter code 3ML at checkout. Get 20% off your first purchase of classic menswear.

Gavin Newsom appeared with Stephen Colbert to celebrate Jimmy Kimmel's return to ABC programming, even as the governor works to silence California's conservative voters in a redistricting initiative that (polling shows) is headed toward a slim victory on November 4 -- and despite Princeton University's conclusion that the new electoral map earns Newsom an “F.” In other news, Will talks about the surprising origins of ABC's 1950s deal to fund the construction of Disneyland in exchange for content, including Mickey Mouse Club and Wonderful World of Disney.

Today's Headlines: Trump touched down in the UK for a rare second state visit, where King Charles is rolling out the red carpet even as protesters projected images of Epstein, Trump, and Prince Andrew onto Windsor Castle. Back home, Trump sued The New York Times for $15 million, claiming their endorsement of Kamala Harris in 2024 was an election hit job. Meanwhile, FBI Director Kash Patel got grilled in the Senate over Epstein, Charlie Kirk's assassination, and political meddling—he also bizarrely claimed Epstein only trafficked for himself. In Utah, the man accused of killing Kirk was charged with seven counts, with prosecutors seeking the death penalty. In New York, a judge tossed terrorism charges against the man who killed UnitedHealthcare's CEO but kept a murder charge intact. In darker news, Mississippi mourned the death of 21-year-old Trey Reed, whose body was found hanging on campus, while Missouri Republicans pushed through a new congressional map that wipes out a Democratic seat, part of a broader GOP redistricting wave. Elsewhere, a court ruled Fed Governor Lisa Cook can't be fired by Trump despite his attempts, and all eyes are on the Fed board's rate decision today. TikTok's U.S. takeover deal is nearly done, with Oracle, Andreessen Horowitz, and Silver Lake set to take an 80% stake and rebrand the app under a new U.S.-based entity. And finally, the Emmys had their best ratings in years, pulling 7.4 million viewers.

We took a late summer break, but we're back with a new slate of really great interviews! When we started this year, redistricting was not something we thought would be driving our politics this cycle. But, of course, that's no longer the case with Texas unleashing a domino effect of redistricting efforts across the country.Thankfully, we know someone really well who can help us understand what's happening: The Cook Political Report's very own David Wasserman.If you follow Dave on X, you know him as Redistrict.Redistricting itself is a topic Dave's been fascinated with for a very long time. He was pouring over maps and congressional data as a kid, which we talk about in this conversation. (It's pretty adorable.) Now as one of the most trusted sources in the country on congressional maps, we literally can't think of anyone better to help us navigate this complicated and unprecedented mid-cycle redrawing of districts.We recorded this conversation on Thursday, September 11th.Check out our CPR 2025-2026 Redistricting Tracker: https://www.cookpolitical.com/analysis/house/redistricting/2025-2026-redistricting-tracker-how-many-seats-could-flip-0You can watch part of the conversation our YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@thecookpoliticalreportSign up for our free weekly newsletter, In Brief: https://www.cookpolitical.com/in-brief-sign-upInterested in subscribing to CPR?

Kansas Republicans already redrew Rep. Sharice Davids' district in 2022. But the state's sole Democratic Congress member held onto her seat anyways. So while Missouri Republicans push through their own gerrymander, some Kansas leaders want to try again.

Let's talk about Missouri's Gerrymander and what Trump's done for Missouri...

Missouri lawmakers may redraw Kansas City's congressional district to dilute Democratic voting power, in order for Republicans to win another seat in the 2026 midterms. Democrats intend to fight, but ultimately, Rep. Emanuel Cleaver said that President Trump's disregard for democracy will endanger the country.

Let's talk about a GOP gerrymander backfire in Utah....

Donald Trump's use of federal forces to crack down on residents of Washington, D.C. is not well received. Neither is the crackdown by federal immigration authorities on immigrant school children. Gavin Newsom has presented his counter to Donald Trump's gerrymandering scheme by offering to voters a new district map that would only be triggered if Texas changes their map first. Jen Psaki takes a closer look at the Christian nationalist extremists who have a concerning amount of influence on members of the Trump administration. Michael McFaul offers a preview of Trump's Friday meeting in Alaska with Vladimir Putin. And Alex Jones has lost another court case and it another stop closer to losing all of his business assets to pay for the Sandy Hook Elementary judgment against him.

Phil, Brett, & Tate are joined by Adam King to discuss Gavin Newsom claiming he will redraw congressional lines in California in order to end Trump's presidency, Europe panicking that Trump will demand Ukraine give land to Russia, Trump demanding congress extend the federalization of DC, and Google caught flagging emails from conservatives and marking them as spam.   Hosts:  Phil @PhilThatRemains (X) Brett  @PopCultureCrisis  (everywhere) Tate @RealTateBrown (X) Serge @SergeDotCom (everywhere) Guest: Adam King @TheAdamKingShow (X)

This week, Alex, Kate, and Matt talk dead people again, this time, about why we remember certain celebrities differently than others, whether it's okay that we pick and choose which parts of their legacies to hold onto, and what it means to gerrymander our moral lines around which famous people's art we like best.

The Democrats are all up in arms about Texas redistricting and the question is posed: how could they gerrymander their states anymore than they already are?  Visit the Howie Carr Radio Network website to access columns, podcasts, and other exclusive content.

Democrats' performative outrage over GOP redistricting is rich considering how hugely democrat congressional maps have disenfranchised Republican voters.

Hi. In today's episode, Katy, Cody, and Jonathan dig into the gerrymandering arms race that could determine the future of American elections. They also obsess over Chris Cuomo falling for a bad AI video of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez that is labeled an AI parody on the video.

Today's Headlines: We're ending the week on a truly chaotic note. Texas Senator John Cornyn got the FBI involved to help track down state Democrats who fled to avoid a rushed redistricting vote—one that would give Republicans five extra seats, just because Trump said they should have them. Trump's also pushing for early redistricting in other red states and floated a new census that would exclude undocumented immigrants—never mind what the Constitution says. In other news, he signed an order demanding colleges hand over race-based admissions data, and the Air Force is cutting off early retirement benefits for transgender service members. Additionally, Trump now wants your 401(k) to dabble in crypto and real estate, and he's nominating an aide to the Fed who's big on lowering interest rates. Finally, Apple CEO Tim Cook gave Trump a weird gold iPhone trophy, VP JD Vance's river was allegedly raised for his birthday kayak trip, Israel confirmed it plans to take full control of Gaza, and Eli Lilly released promising results from a study of its new weight loss pill.

Republicans started the latest round of redistricting conflict in Texas, but Democrats are promising to fight back in California and Illinois, and now Republicans are promising to escalate further in other states. What's the end game? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Depending on who's in power, blatantly partisan redistricting may be derided as the ultimate dirty ploy or defended as a practical measure to cultivate fairer representation. The recent effort to carve out a few more safe Republican districts in Texas has set off blue state governors, with some preparing to “go nuclear.” To help get our bearings […]

Dozens of Texas lawmakers flee the state, denying a legislative quorum that Republicans need to enact a new U.S. House map that could gain them five seats in the 2026 midterms. But how long can the absent Democrats stay away, since Gov. Greg Abbott can keep calling special sessions? And will Democrats really retaliate by redistricting California, New York or Illinois?

Today's Headlines: Netanyahu is pushing his cabinet to green-light a full takeover of Gaza, though the Israeli military says it could put hostages in danger. His cabinet also tried to fire the attorney general prosecuting him for corruption, but the Supreme Court shut that down almost instantly. Over in the U.S., the Trump administration briefly floated the idea of cutting disaster aid to places that boycott Israeli companies, then quickly backpedaled. India dismissed Trump's threats of even bigger tariffs for buying and reselling Russian oil. In Texas, Republicans called a special session to ram through a new, super gerrymandered map, but Democrats literally left the state to stop it. GOP leaders are fining them and issuing civil warrants, while Democratic governors in Illinois, New York, and California are now talking about redrawing their own maps. The DOJ's also been quietly asking at least 15 states for voter data. Bloomberg says the FBI blacked out Trump's name in Epstein files before deciding not to release them, while two Epstein victims told a court they still want the docs public, even if it's ugly. Meanwhile, a new poll says 86% of Americans are stressed about grocery prices, and 14% are using buy-now-pay-later just to eat.
