The perspective you're looking for: Democrats still in good shape but gear up for hardball
About this episode
Jen Psaki discusses with Dan Pfieffer and Quentin Fulks why Democrats are still in a favorable position to retake the House despite recent setbacks.
The Supreme Court's gutting of the Voting Rights Act followed closely by Virginia's supreme court rejecting their new redistricting has taken the wind out of Democratic sails, but the actual math and other political factors still favor Democrats re-taking the House in this year's elections. Dan Pfieffer, co-host of "Pod Save America," and Quentin Fulks, former Harris principal deputy campaign manager talk with Jen Psaki about why Democrats are in good shape to take the House and why the party's focus needs to shift to state legislatures.
