from 22, to his view as nine. that s why this decision is so critical. section two gets at the heart of why the voting rights act was necessary in the first place. it seemed more litigation than any other part of the. in ten states, still pending in federal court. joining me now to discuss more, and the importance of this long mark case, is one of the plaintiffs in the alabama case. khadidah stone, she is a chief field and campaign strategist for alabama forward. khadidah, i m just so excited to talk to you. just what was your initial reaction to this ruling? you have been an organizer now and alabama for decades. frankly, at the forefront of this fight. yes, so first i want to say thank you so much symone for having me on here. it s truly an honor. i was actually in the beauty supply store, and i am urgently burst out into tears. i have the feeling of pure joy.
reason we re here today is because they struck down sections four and five in the shelby county v. halter case. that s why we have to remain vigilant on all the efforts and fight against what they are doing to suppress the black and brown vote across the not just in alabama, but across the country. it s something to be vigilant about. tomorrow gonna speak with congresswoman terri soul, whom i know you know well, about this very issue. and the ramifications going forward. khadidah stone, thank you very, very much for your time. thank you so much. up next folks, we are still talking about the federal indictment of donald trump. it comes with very obvious legal peril, but the question is what could it mean for him politically? especially since donald trump is still the republican front runner in the 2024 republican primary. a political panel is going to weigh in next. igh in next. lla on standouts like the boss. it s hard being that cheesy. but you make it look easy though.
