let s get some analysis. shannon bream is here. they sounded the alarm, because they said what was the long-term electoral calm parked, and that second question deals with these partisan gerrymandering districts. both impact the balance of power on capitol hill so a lot of alarm on the left. and with the president and a high signaling that might can try to delay the consensus, there are warnings coming from, including some and we saw on the stage last night, 2020 contender senator elizabeth warren, and she tweets this. the supreme court ruling blocking as citizenship question is a welcome relief. but the court has left open the possibility that the trump administration could still add a citizenship question to the census, and if they do i have a
maps. so he got what he really wanted in this one. yeah. it s interesting. we ll have to see how it affects washington here because we ve been hearing, you know, on capitol hill that gerrymandering is one of the major reasons why we re seeing partisan tensions increase, you know, over the past few decades. cook political report has said that only 20% of congressional districts are actually swing districts held by sort of moderate voices. and that s a decrease by more than 50% overt past two decades. so with these gerrymandering districts you have more increasingly partisan politicians. they don t have to work across the aisle. and that could affect politics. it will be really interesting to see how this emboldens a lot of politicians around the country. today s ruling obviously focused on maryland and south carolina. but you have issues like this in georgia and elsewhere in the country. and it s going to come up over and over again and a lot of politicians are going to feel embolde
no reason why in the 21st century, we should be operating on 19th century democratic institutions. let s improve democracy. democrats have a political opportunity. and when i travel around the country visiting with groups in murfreesboro, tennessee or beaumo beaumont, texas, or arizona, you what i hear is, they want these reforms. that s what they want today see their elected officials do when they get into office in january 2019. before we go to break, i have a quick word about these stunning polls, a tie in the governor races in georgia and kansas. yeah, i mean, but look we have these gerrymandering districts, and they re coming up with these, you know, phony and fraudulent and anti-democratic methods. that s what they have to do.

and won did not get anywhere. this is an age that tends to make a difference and tends to usher in major social change or major political and policy change. obviously the veietnam war, thi age group may be a couple years older, or when they come of age in the next presidential election, if you look naturally at the arab spring, it was young people. it was this kind of age group who have the passion, who still have the optimism, aren t jaded. so we ll see. it does fly in the face of more recent history on this particular issue and the reality of gerrymandering districts and a whole host of other cultural issues. whether it s the younger voters or the women voters, it s trump. it s an anti-trump animous among those two groups. if you re a republican and you re paul ryan, you re a
