12:23Now PlayingControl of a few seats is deciding healthcare, SNAP, education, and accountability in Congress.
Guest host Candace Kelley speaks with Rep. Bobby Scott of Virginia about how gerrymandering is reshaping political power and directly impacting policy decisions. Scott explains how just a handful of seats have determined major outcomes, from healthcare and SNAP benefits to education and war powers. He details a pattern of targeting districts, including those represented by African Americans, and warns that failing to respond will leave communities without representation or accountability. The conversation makes clear that the upcoming vote is about leveling the playing field and protecting real-world interests.
