About this episode

The episode discusses the implications of the Supreme Court's decision on the Voting Rights Act, the challenges faced by Governor Joe Lombardo in Nevada, and Pete Hegseth's return to Capitol Hill.

The Supreme Court’s decision on the Voting Rights Act will be felt in election cycles but maybe not as early as November. Playbook’s Jack Blanchard and Megan Messerly discuss if this decision will work in the GOP favor to redraw voting maps now. Meanwhile, Pete Hegseth heads back to Capitol Hill to face the Senate, where Europe will be a big topic of conversation. And in Nevada, Republican Governor Joe Lombardo is running for re-election but President Trump is making it hard for him.
