Matt Gagnon discussed Texas’s attempt to redraw congressional lines, potentially gaining five additional Republican seats. This could spark a redistricting arms race among states, with California and others considering similar tactics. Gagnon highlighted the disparity in voter registration and congressional representation in states like California and New Mexico. He also touched on the foreign policy implications of European recognition of Palestine and the potential privatization of Social Security, noting that Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin’s comments suggested a backdoor approach to this. Gagnon argued that privatization could significantly increase retirement savings if properly managed.
