React.js: When using history.push, url changes but Component will not load

I am currently making an app with React and react router that has a login page that validates whether or not a user is logged in, and if they are, it will use history.push to push a <Watchlist /> component. I call this in the render method of my login component here:

    if (this.props.isLoggedIn) {
      history.push('/watchlist');
    }

This will change the url to localhost:3000/watchlist but the actual page itself will not load unless I click refresh. Any reason for this sort of behavior? I can't find a solution anywhere and a similar implementation has worked on other projects. Link to relevant branch in repo: https://github.com/michaelmaryanoff/movieroulettereact/tree/assistance-2-25
