How does religion influence our politics? Preet speaks with Ryan Burge, a pastor, data analyst, and political science professor at Eastern Illinois University focused on religion and politics. They discuss the rapid decrease in American religious affiliation, how religious groups are becoming more polarized, and what it all means for our elections.
Plus, Preet reacts to testimony by former Trump Chief of Staff Mark Meadows who is seeking to transfer the Georgia state prosecution to federal court.
