Episode Details

Tennessee’s congressional map is being redrawn in real time — and it’s sparking outrage in Memphis. A once-unified Black-majority district has been shattered into three new ones, stretching into rural areas, as Republicans push to win all nine House seats. Longtime Rep. Steve Cohen’s departure opens the door for Justin Pearson, a gun-control advocate who’s now facing a tough primary battle. Voters feel unheard and say the changes dilute their power — some even suspect voter suppression. Meanwhile, Rep. Andy Ogles’ district has ballooned to include parts of Memphis, drawing scrutiny as his campaign faces an FBI probe that’s nearing closure. With Republicans holding eight of nine House seats, these primaries could reshape Tennessee’s political landscape — and voters are watching closely.
