Redistricting, Roses, and Remembrance • Best 60ish Seconds

In this week's Best 60ish Seconds, Charlie opens with a redistricting double-header. The Virginia Supreme Court struck down the Democrat-backed congressional map as unconstitutional. He also highlights Indiana, where Trump-endorsed challengers defeated five Republican state senators who had defied the President on redistricting. Charlie raises a fundamental question: should redistricting only happen following the decennial census, rather than whenever it's politically convenient?

Charlie then turns to Pennsylvania as Sen. John Fetterman has confirmed he is staying a Democrat. And from Pennsylvania, Charlie goes to Kentucky to reflect on one of the most thrilling Derby finishes in years, as 24-1 longshot Golden Tempo edged the favored Renegade by a neck in a photo finish, with trainer Cherie DeVaux becoming the first woman ever to win the Kentucky Derby.

Charlie closes with a salute to Ted Turner, the media titan who passed away Wednesday at 87.
