Redistricting Wins, "Legitimate Political Discourse," Has Biden Low Point Passed?
It's time for some (actual) legitimate political discourse, as Joe and Alex start with the RNC's revisionist history of the insurrection. Republicans are moving closer and closer to the point of no return, and even Mike Pence is speaking up. What's the latest in the fight for democracy? Then, a deep dive into the surprising win for Democrats with redistricting across the country. What looked like disaster may be opportunity, starting this year in the midterms. With hope for a return to "normal" in the next phase of COVID, plus a strong economy and good news with redistricting, is the worst behind us? Could Biden start to regain some steam and help push Democrats in the midterms? What other factors (SCOTUS) could help get voters energized?
