8:36Now PlayingWhile voting rights bills stalled in Congress for months, Republican-led states have been jamming through voter suppression laws and redistricting maps that weaken Black and Brown districts.
Politico reports, “In Tennessee, Republicans are already successfully advancing a plan to crack Nashville into three districts, dooming Democratic Congressman Jim Cooper. In Florida, Gov. Ron DeSantis redrew maps that could give Republicans 18 or more of the state’s 28 districts... Democratic Gov. Andy Beshar vetoed the Kentucky map on Wednesday, calling it a Republican gerrymander. But the GOP has enough votes in the state legislature to override it.”
Ben Jealous, president of People For the American Way, joins Charles Blow on “Prime” to discuss.
All this and more on “Prime.”
