Episode 59

On today's episode of Politics Nation, host Reverend Al Sharpton discusses how Donald Trump has treated his presidency like a golf game, bending the rules for advantage. This week, Trump fired a top economist after a disappointing jobs report and is pressuring Republican lawmakers to gerrymander voting maps ahead of the midterms to mitigate political backlash. Additionally, just days before the sixtieth anniversary of the Voting Rights Act, the John Roberts Supreme Court seems ready to undermine the Act in a case affecting two Black-majority congressional districts in Louisiana.
