Among the candidates are Democrats Xavier Becerra, Katie Porter and Tom Steyer, and Republicans Steve Hilton and Chad Bianco.

Her case became a cause célèbre on the right, with President Trump repeatedly calling her a "political prisoner" and demanding that Colorado set her free. The move comes after months of pressure from Trump, who cast Peters as a martyr in this broader campaign to rewrite the history of the 2020 election. Colorado Sec. of State Jena Griswold joins The Weekend to discuss the governor's decision.

9am: The Supreme Court's ruling gutting the Voting Rights Act has cleared the way for a new congressional map in Alabama that would eliminate one of the state's two majority-Black districts before this year's midterms.
