Trump Loses the Gerrymander War

In This Episode

Virginia voters approve a new congressional map that could net Democrats four seats, dealing what might be the decisive blow to Republicans in the redistricting war — but Republican groups have a huge advantage in money raised. How worried should we be? Donald Trump claims the military has “total control” of the Strait of Hormuz right as Iran seizes two more ships. A series of new approval polls show the president hitting new lows, Kash Patel crashes out when asked about his alleged on-the-job drinking, and a top DHS official is placed on leave over a “sugar daddy” scandal. Then, The Atlantic’s Mark Leibovich sits down with Jon and Dan to talk about the messy California gubernatorial primary and this weekend’s White House Correspondents’ Dinner.
