Summary
5.7.2026 #RolandMartinUnfiltered: GOP Redistricting War Targets Black Districts. Justin Pearson Clash Erupts in Tennessee. Calif Gov Race
The GOP is at war with Black America, and right now, the battlefield is redistricting. In Alabama, the state House of Representatives has passed a bill that would allow for a new special primary if the Supreme Court permits the state to reuse its 2023 redistricting plan. I will speak with a state lawmaker about what's happening there.
In Tennessee, the Republican-led legislature has approved a new congressional map that dismantles the state's only majority-Black district. State Representative Justin Pearson had a heated exchange with Tennessee Highway Patrol troopers after the redistricting vote at the state Capitol. He, along with two other lawmakers, will join us.
Former Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa will be here to discuss his gubernatorial campaign.
