How Openly Partisan Gerrymandering Is Becoming Normalized

President Trump called on Texas Republicans to redraw their state's congressional maps to favor Republican candidates. In response, California voters will get a chance to approve a plan to redraw their state's maps to favor Democratic candidates. We look at how partisan gerrymandering has become more politically accepted — and expedient.

This episode: senior White House correspondent Tamara Keith, and voting correspondents Miles Parks & Ashley Lopez.

This podcast was produced and edited by Casey Morell & Bria Suggs. Our executive producer is Muthoni Muturi.
