Washington Roundup
The U.S. heard oral arguments in a case over a key provision of the Voting Rights Act intended to protect racial minorities.
The case, Louisiana v. Callais, concerns the drawing of a second majority-Black U.S. House district in Louisiana, challenged as unconstitutional racial gerrymandering.
Meanwhile, the White House drew attention to Down Syndrome Awareness Month and the federal government shutdown continued, with senators questioning the FDA's approval of a new generic form of mifepristone.
The case might result in changes to the landmark Voting Rights Act.
