Trump Weighs In as Supreme Court Deals Blow to Voting Rights Act

Former President Donald Trump has reacted to a Supreme Court ruling that significantly curbs the Voting Rights Act, a decision that limits the use of race in drawing congressional districts. The Court struck down a Louisiana map that included a second majority-Black district, with Justice Samuel Alito calling it an "unconstitutional racial gerrymander." The ruling is expected to benefit Republicans and undermines a key provision of the landmark civil rights law. Justice Elena Kagan dissented, arguing that the decision renders Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act "all but a dead letter."
