Tennessee Lawmakers Push to Split Black-Majority District

Description

Tennessee lawmakers gear up for a special session to redraw congressional districts, with a focus on splitting the only Black-majority seat in the state. The move, backed by Republican leaders and Trump, aims to secure another safe seat and bolster their Washington edge. However, not all Republicans are on board, citing bad timing and potential harm to efforts to engage Black voters. Maps are still in flux, with a vote potentially happening as early as Thursday morning. Top officials remain silent on concerns about diluting Black voting power.
