About this episode
The episode discusses the ongoing war in Iran, the return of the White House Correspondents’ Dinner, and the intensifying redistricting battle in Virginia.
The war in Iran continues to dominate Washington, as lawmakers debate U.S. involvement and once again reject an effort to limit the President’s war powers. Back at home, the White House Correspondents’ Dinner brings together media and political leaders for a night of headlines, humor, and sharp contrasts amid a tense political climate. And in Virginia, a newly approved redistricting plan is already reshaping the political map — setting up key battles that could influence control of Congress in the upcoming elections.
