1:01:36Now PlayingTrump’s election power grab just got a boost from the Supreme Court. Can Democrats hold together long enough to fight back?
The Supreme Court has cleared a path for Donald Trump’s administration to move forward with its effort to restrict mail-in voting ahead of the 2026 midterm elections — even as the underlying legal battle continues. The ruling raises a much bigger question: **who actually gets to decide how American elections work — the president, the courts, Congress, or the states?**
I’m joined by **Michaeleen Crowell**, former Chief of Staff to Bernie Sanders, for a wide-ranging conversation about what comes next.
We’ll dig into:
• What the Supreme Court’s latest ruling on Trump’s mail-voting restrictions actually means for the 2026 midterms
• Whether the Supreme Court itself has accumulated too much power — and how Congress could rein it in
• Why “judicial supremacy” is not quite the constitutional bedrock most Americans assume it is
• The growing divide between the Democratic establishment and the Democratic Socialists of America
• What the DSA’s rise means for the future of the Democratic Party
• How Democrats can keep their coalition together through the 2026 election
• And the harder question: **what happens after the election?**
The immediate fight is about voting. But underneath it is a much bigger struggle over American democracy, constitutional power, and whether Democrats can build a coalition broad enough to defeat Trump without tearing themselves apart.
**Watch live, join the conversation, and tell us what you think in the comments.**
