Cohen exits Tennessee re-election bid as redistricting reshapes his Memphis district

Democratic Rep. Steve Cohen of Memphis ends his bid for re-election after Tennessee lawmakers redraw a district he represents, carving up its Black-majority base to GOP advantage. Cohen is suing to restore his old district and says he would re-enter the race if that lawsuit succeeds. He warns Tennessee could move to an all-Republican congressional delegation, while Pearson continues his campaign in the newly drawn ninth district. Cohen, a long-time civil rights advocate and former member of the House judiciary committee, vows to oppose Trump in his remaining time in office.
