New York's highest court is ordering the state to redraw its congressional lines. The decision could ultimately help Democrats who look to retake control of the House of Representatives in 2024. For battleground districts, including possibly Staten Island, it could mean bringing in voters from more liberal, Democratic parts of Brooklyn. NY1 investigative reporter Courtney Gross, political reporter Bobby Cuza and political director Bob Hardt discuss the map mess and what could come next.
After that, Mayor Eric Adams recently announced massive budget cuts to offset the financial hit the city has taken because of the migrant crisis. The "Off Topic/On Politics'' team takes a detailed look at these cuts and which programs and services they will affect. They also touch on how slashing the budget may potentially damage Adams politically.
