Gavin Newsom Wants to Create 5 New Democratic Districts in California

Andrew Walworth, Tom Bevan and RCP Senior Elections Analyst Sean Trende discuss RCP Poll Averages for President Trump’s job approval rating, how he is viewed on issues such as the economy and immigration, and a new poll that shows Americans losing faith in a range of institutions including education and healthcare. They also talk about California Governor Gavin Newsom’s announcement that he hopes to create five new safe Democratic districts in the state, and what the long term consequences of redistricting across the country may be for voters and for the political parties. Plus, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent’s announcement that he will push for a single-stock trading ban for members of Congress. Then finally, Andrew Walworth talks with James S.
