Summary

This week we heard House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) signal that President Biden's $3.5-trillion Build Back Better spending bill will have to be trimmed down in order for it to get enough votes to pass both houses. So which programs get prioritized and which get cut from the bill? Jared and FOX News Congressional Correspondent Chad Pergram discuss the latest on the spending bill negotiations. Who will control Congress after the 2022 Midterms? Many Americans aren't thinking of the next year's elections yet, but one element that could potentially impact the upcoming midterms is redistricting. Kyle Kondik, Managing Editor, Sabato's Crystal Ball at UVA Center for Politics and author of the new book "The Long Red Thread: How Democratic Dominance Gave Way to Republican Advantage in US House Elections" breaks down what to expect from redistricting and who will benefit from it in the upcoming elections.
