About this episode

Carl Jackson discusses the implications of redistricting on the upcoming midterm elections and the political landscape in various states.

In this episode of the Carl Jackson Show, Carl dives into the redistricting wars and how they're impacting the 2026 midterm elections. He discusses how President Trump's endorsement of Republican candidates in Indiana led to the ousting of five incumbent Democrats. Carl also touches on the new maps being drawn in Florida, which could potentially net Republicans up to 4 seats. He shares his thoughts on the difference between redistricting and gerrymandering, and how the latter is a form of systemic racism.
