The 2020 Census data and the redistricting that comes after will have big implications for who gets represented and who gets to stay in power for the next decade.

Michael Li, senior counsel for the Brennan Center’s Democracy Program, joins us.

And in headlines: nearly one million 5- to 11-year-olds have received COVID vaccines in the last week, Belarus’ autocratic leader Alexander Lukashenko threatened to cut off gas supplies to Europe, and a federal appeals court granted former President Trump a temporary victory yesterday.
