Maryland Democrats Eyeing GOP Redistricting Shutout
Heading into 2022, the eyes of political nerds like us are fixed on statehouses across the country. State legislatures are in the process of taking the data from the 2020 census and using it to draw new congressional districts.

The defense department has said sexual assault cases will be removed, but it's not the same as Congress changing the law itself. Lory Manning, retired U.S. Navy captain and the director of government operations at the Service Women's Action Network, joins Cheddar News to discuss.
