Tennessee's Reshaped Election District Pits Trump's Pick Against Progressive Democrat

Tennessee redrew its 9th congressional district — like a neighborhood voting zone — from a mostly Black Memphis area into a 200-mile stretch toward Nashville, after a Supreme Court ruling weakened voting-rights rules. The AP says 71% of voters are new to the district. November's race pairs Trump-backed Republican Brent Taylor against Democrat Justin Pearson, expelled as a state lawmaker for a 2023 gun-control protest.
