Maggie and guest co-host Matt Rothschild square off over one of the most divisive issues in American politics: mid-decade gerrymandering. Should Democrats fight fire with fire in response to Texas Republicans’ aggressive maneuvers? Daun argues it’s a necessary strategy to safeguard democracy from Trump-fueled GOP tactics, while Rothschild warns that stooping to the same level erodes democratic principles and drags politics into the gutter. The hour also spotlights Justice Rebecca Bradley’s costly judicial junkets, raising questions about partisan influence on the bench. With a lively audience weighing in, the conversation highlights the urgency — and the complexity — of protecting electoral integrity.
