How Redistricting and Turnout Interact for 2026

This week, Ron Steslow and Susan Del Percio (MSNBC political analyst and crisis communications expert) break down Tuesday night’s election results, Mamdani’s win in New York City, the blowout wins for moderate Democrats in New Jersey and Virginia, and how these wins highlight the identity crisis within the Democratic Party.

In Politicology+ they unpack the Trump tariffs and the oral arguments in one of the most watched Supreme Court cases of the year.
