This episode previews the redistricting special session with analysis of the “base” congressional map by Michael McDonald, a political scientist at the University of Florida. As the League of Women Voters and Common Cause Florida take issue with the map being drawn behind closed doors, Sen. Don Gaetz says some people will never be satisfied regardless of the process. Gaetz also talks about the intersection of family and politics while speaking to a group of Florida State University political science students.

Also, Gomes recaps the GOP’s big debate night with a focus on Jeb Bush and Marco Rubio to see who stands out most from the crowd.
