Tennessee Prepares for State Primary Amid New Congressional Map Changes
Tennessee is gearing up for its state primary elections, which will see significant changes due to a new Republican-drawn congressional map. The map has split Memphis into three Republican-dominated districts, prompting the retirement of long-serving Democratic U.S. Rep. Steve Cohen. The gubernatorial race is also drawing attention, with Republican candidates including U.S. Sen. Marsha Blackburn and U.S. Rep. John Rose vying to replace term-limited Gov. Bill Lee. The primary will also determine nominees for U.S. Senate, with incumbent Bill Hagerty seeking reelection. The elections are set against a backdrop of political shifts and redistricting challenges.
