What An East Coast Governor's Race Signals About America's Shift To The Right

In two weeks, on Tuesday, New Jersey voters will determine which
candidates for governor will appear on the ballot in November. Last
year, former President Donald Trump came within six percent of
winning the Garden State, highlighting its shift toward the right.
Former New Jersey Assemblyman Jack Ciattarelli joins the Rundown to
discuss his decision to run for governor again after losing to
Governor Phil Murphy (D) in 2021. It has been nearly two years
since a Supreme Court decision ended affirmative action in college
admissions. Some may remember the prominent cases against Harvard
and the University of North Carolina in which a 6-3 decision found
that affirmative action violates the Equal Protection Clause of the
14th Amendment. Wall Street Journal columnist Jason Riley has
written a book analyzing the historical context for race
considerations in school admissions in his book, The Affirmative
Action Myth: Why Blacks Don’t Need Racial Preferences to Succeed.
Riley joins the podcast to share some key lessons from his book.
