About this episode

Hawk discusses the potential for Democrats to win the House in the upcoming midterm elections despite challenges to voting rights and gerrymandering.

The Supreme Court has gutted the Voting Rights Act, Tennessee has gerrymandered Black representation out of existence, and Virginia's congressional map has been thrown out by the courts. Despite all of that, Hawk makes the case that Democrats can still win the House in the midterms — and may even remain slight favorites heading into November.
