Political Fallout

The conversation discusses the political fallout from the Democratic Party’s opposition to redistricting in states like Texas.  Matt criticizes the party for resisting gerrymandering, which led to Trump endorsing opponents of those who opposed the redistricting plan. The result was a loss for many incumbent senators, increasing the likelihood of a Republican majority in the House. Matt argues that the Democratic Party’s actions were misguided and could have long-term negative consequences, including setting a precedent for future Republican gains.
