Welcome back to The Red Letter.
The Supreme Court made a flurry of decisions that impacted both sides of the aisle, some wins and some losses for both Republicans and Democrats. I sat down with Stacey Abrams to break down what it all means—not just for Democrats, but for American democracy.
Abrams called parts of today’s rulings “a failure for democracy,” arguing that decisions on campaign finance, voting rights, and executive power are reshaping the balance between citizens and government.
We also dug into the political implications heading into the 2026 midterms, including:
Why she believes today’s campaign finance ruling gives billionaires even more influence.
Whether Democrats should embrace mail voting as a winning strategy.
The SAVE Act and who she says could lose access to the ballot.
What she’s looking for in the next generation of Democratic leaders.
And I asked her something that’s followed her since 2018:
Will she ever concede her race for governor?
Abrams drew a distinction between accepting a certified election result and conceding that the system itself was fair—a conversation that’s become even more relevant as both parties continue to debate faith in American elections.
Whether you agree with her or not, it’s one of the most revealing interviews she’s given on democracy, voting rights, and where the Democratic Party goes next.
Watch the full conversation and let me know what you think in the comments. Which of today’s Supreme Court rulings do you believe will have the biggest impact on the country?
