How is the Redistricting Wave Impacting Black Voters? - Balance of Power
May 29, 2026
Congressional Black Caucus Chair Yvette Clarke, Democratic Representative from New York, says Louisiana’s new congressional map eliminating a majority-Black district is part of a broader redistricting push that is “devastating” for Black political representation. She says Democrats must fight the effort in court and through legislation, arguing her party cannot “sit back” as Republicans redraw maps to protect their House majority. She speaks with Kailey Leinz and Joe Mathieu on the late edition of Bloomberg’s "Balance of Power."
