Show Summary
Is Prop 50 really about redistricting — or is it a Trojan horse for political control? Attorney and GOP leader Elizabeth Barcohana returns to break down the truth behind what she calls “Newsom’s gerrymander”. From explaining the attack on California’s Independent Redistricting Commission to revealing how this move could lock in Democratic power and disenfranchise voters, Barcahana doesn’t hold back.
She also shares her voter registration campaign in LA County, the confusion voters are facing about Prop 50, and how it’s laying the groundwork for a 2028 Newsom presidential run. If you want clarity on what’s at stake this November, this is the episode to watch.
