About this episode
James and Al break down the redistricting battle being led by Texas and explore what it means for upcoming elections. Then, they look at the political effects of the ongoing Epstein scandal, declining crime rates, and the perilous status of the judiciary in the face of an out-of-control executive branch before welcoming UMass Amherst Professor Alexander Theodoridis. Together, they lay out the reasons behind Trump’s plunging approval ratings, focusing on his overly harsh immigration policies, the durability of the gender divide, and what a future-focused strategy might look like.Email your questions to James and Al at politicswarroom@gmail.com or tweet them to @politicon.
