The 2020 redistricting cycle is looking to be quite bad for Democrats. Does that mean losing the House to Republicans is inevitable? Or is there some way Dems can avoid a wipeout? We’ll bring together journalists and experts of both opinions to debate just how screwed the Democrats are. Register now!
Joining us for the discussion will be:
Ben Jealous: President of People for the American Way, a pro-democracy advocacy group founded on fighting right-wing extremism and defending voting rights. He’s also a professor at the University of Pennsylvania and the former president of the NAACP.
Kyle Kondick: Political analyst, speaker and managing editor of Sabato’s Crystal Ball, the University of Virginia Center for Politics’ authoritative newsletter on U.S. elections.
Stephanie Ali: Policy director at the Stacey Abrams-founded New Georgia Project, a non-partisan voter registration group in the state and one of the groups credited with helped Biden win Georgia and Democrats take the Senate.
Josh Marshall: Founder & Editor-in-Chief of TPM.
Tickets are free, though there is a $5 suggested contribution. All contributions go to the TPM Journalism Fund. Thanks for supporting TPM.
