On this episode of See How They Run, we’re going to examine an institution that will sit at the heart of both the presidential election and the next president’s agenda: the Supreme Court.

The hard-right supermajority that overturned Roe v. Wade and gave presidents king-like powers is Donald Trump’s most lasting legacy. If he gets back into office, he could do even more damage. But if Kamala Harris wins in November, she can lead the charge to reform the court and curb the power it has so flagrantly abused for so long.

To discuss, we’re joined by Nation national affairs correspondent John Nichols and Nation justice correspondent Elie Mystal.
