On today's podcast, Chris Cillizza and Matt discuss:

— Virginia redistricting referendum passes narrowly and likely flips the VA House map to 10 Democrats/1 Republican (from 6-5)

— The gerrymandering debate: “unilateral disarmament” vs. endless escalation

— Fresh AP-NORC poll bombshell: Trump approval collapses to 33% overall

— Tucker Carlson calls himself “complicit”: Is Tucker eyeing 2028?

— JD Vance’s rough patch: forced to defend Iran war and gets into a spat with the Pope while trying to own the Catholic/America First lane — is his heir apparent status slipping?

— 2028 speculation: Don Jr. as Trump’s potential handoff?

— Trump cabinet shake-up begins: Kristi Noem, Pam Bondi, Lori Chavez-DeRemer out — early reset attempt?

— Bigger picture: Will norms ever return after Trump? Can liberal democracy bounce back, or has the escalation permanently broken trust?

— And MUCH more!
