In a contentious special session, Tennessee Republicans have passed a new congressional map that significantly alters the political landscape of the state. The map has been criticized for splitting Memphis into three districts and dismantling the only majority-Black district, which many view as an attempt to eliminate Democratic representation. Congressman Cohen has vowed to sue over the redistricting plan, calling it damaging for Memphis. The new map, which was developed with input from Trump, aims to favor the GOP by erasing the last Democrat-held seat in Tennessee. This move has sparked widespread protests and accusations of gerrymandering, with opponents arguing that it revives tactics reminiscent of Jim Crow laws.
