Thursday, June 25 — The Supreme Court just handed Republicans a redistricting weapon, and states are already using it.
This episode breaks down the House majority fight that most political coverage is ignoring. Rush and Reagan walk through the 6-3 Alito ruling in Louisiana v. Callais that gutted Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act, why Florida, Tennessee, and Alabama moved within days, and how the resulting maps could shift up to 19 House seats before the 2026 midterms.
They cover the state-by-state redistricting fallout — DeSantis targeting four Democratic incumbents, Tennessee cracking majority-Black Memphis across rural districts. They run the cold seat math: Republicans hold 218, Democrats need three, and 36 GOP incumbents are walking out the door — a single-party retirement record. And they debate the real question underneath all of it: can a redrawn map stop a wave election, or does 2018 already answer that?
Florida's appellate challenge under the Fair Districts Amendment is still active. The maps are not settled. If you think this race is playing out in the Senate, you're watching the wrong chamber — weigh in and tell us where you think the gavel lands.
