Voters Head to the Polls
Andrew Walworth, Tom Bevan and Carl Cannon discuss the election in California, where voters head to the polls to vote on Gavin Newsom’s plan to redistrict the state to create a more favorable map for Democrats. Also, a look at where redistricting efforts stand in other states, including Maryland where Governor Wes Moore announced an advisory commission on redistricting that might eliminate the state’s sole Republican congressional district. Then, they discuss a House plan to break the deadlock over the partial government shutdown, and whether Senate Republicans are warming to President Donald Trump’s push for a repeal of the filibuster. Plus, in a move that is remarkable even by the standards of Chicago politics, Rep. Jesus Chuy Garcia (D-IL) has withdrawn his re-election bid at the last moment in order to pave the way for his chief of staff to run unopposed for his seat. Then, they talk about the national implications of the governor’s races in Virginia and New Jersey, and the mayoral race in New York City. And, they look at the remarkable life of former Vice President Dick Cheney, who died yesterday at the age of 84.
