Republicans Have Trifecta Control of 25 States & Need 6 More to Call for a Constitutional Convention

Historian Nancy MacLean says much of the radical right's agenda is being pursued at the state level. Republicans already have "trifecta control" in 25 states-control of the governor's seat and both chambers of their legislative bodies-compared to six states for Democrats. "The ultimate Big Bang of this project is that they want to change our Constitution," Maclean says. "They are actually building towards a constitutional convention. So they have 28 states that have called for this constitutional convention. They need six more."
