The balance of power in Washington could soon shift, as recent redistricting rulings may heavily impact election maps in states like Louisiana, Alabama, and North Carolina. While Republicans maintain a tight majority in the House and Democrats hold an even slimmer majority in the Senate, every state's votes will count in upcoming elections as recent rulings could have a more significant influence than in the past. On the Rundown, Managing Editor of Sabato's Crystal Ball at the University of Virginia Center for Politics Kyle Kondik breaks down each of the court's rulings, how much of an impact they could have on 2024 elections, and the notable differences between partisan and racial gerrymandering.
Americas Crime Crisis: Alice Marie Johnson spent over two decades in prison for drug trafficking in Memphis, Tennessee, and was released in 2018 after Kim Kardashian worked alongside the Trump administration to set her free.

She joins the Rundown to share her story, talk about why she started the TAG foundation, and why she has dedicated herself to helping others sentenced to similar crimes gain their freedom.
Plus, commentary by Dr. Kevin Sabet, former Drug Advisor to Presidents Clinton, Bush, and Obama.
