Tennessee Republicans push mid-decade redraw to erase lone Democratic district

Tennessee Republican leaders unveiled a congressional map ahead of the midterms that would dismantle the state’s only Democratic-leaning district by splitting the Memphis-based, majority-Black district into three districts, a partisan move framed as race-neutral redistricting following a Supreme Court ruling. The proposal also seeks to change a law limiting redistricting to once per decade, with floor votes anticipated as primaries on Aug. 6 approach.
