This Supreme Court term gave presidents a lot more power

July 7, 2026·18m

The U.S. Supreme Court term that ended last week greatly expanded power not just for President Trump but for future presidents, too. It also gave Republicans an advantage in this year’s midterm election. We discuss the biggest cases and look ahead to cases the court plans to hear in the fall. This episode: political correspondent Ashley Lopez, Supreme Court and justice correspondent Carrie Johnson, and senior political correspondent Tamara Keith. This podcast was produced by Casey Morell and Bria Suggs, and edited by Rachel Baye. Our executive producer is Muthoni Muturi.
