Forget Hollywood blockbusters: This summer will be all about the politics. From Memorial Day to Labor Day, we’ll be witness to a criminal trial for a U.S. senator (oh, and the remnants of one for a former president, too), make-or-break Senate primaries, the political conventions, Supreme Court opinions on abortion and presidential immunity and much, much more. Inside Elections Deputy Editor Jacob Rubashkin drops by to help get us into the summer state of mind.
