Is racial gerrymandering silencing Black and Brown voices? In this powerful episode of On the Record, White House Correspondent Ebony McMorris sits down with Damon Hewitt, President and Executive Director ...of the Lawyers' Committee for Civil Rights Under Law, to expose the legal battles shaping the future of American democracy.

From the frontlines of Texas redistricting fights to the corridors of the Supreme Court, Hewitt breaks down how partisan map-drawing is being used to dilute minority voting power ahead of the critical 2026 midterm elections. They also discuss Rep. Jasmine Crockett’s bold Senate bid and what it signals for a new generation of political leadership refusing to back down.

Hewitt explains the dangerous precedent set by recent court rulings in Louisiana and beyond, arguing that partisan gerrymandering on the backs of Black voters is nothing less than racial discrimination.
