Tennessee became the first state to redraw its congressional districts after a Supreme Court decision last week that weakened Voting Rights Act protections against racial gerrymandering. Republicans in the state legislature approved a new map that removes the only U.S. House seat held by a Democrat. Governor Bill Lee signed the measure into law shortly after the vote.

The new boundaries target the 9th Congressional District, currently represented by Democratic Congressman Steve Cohen. The redistricting ends the sole remaining Democratic foothold in a state that Donald Trump won solidly in 2024.
