Nicolle Wallace and our team of experts dissect what’s to come in this meeting and how the summit is proving to be a win for Putin alone. Plus, former President Barack Obama commends Texas Democrats for their efforts to combat the GOP gerrymandering efforts in their state. Nicolle and Representative Zoe Lofgren discuss how this affects California and the rest of the nation.
