Move the U.S. House Primaries to August, leave the rest on the same schedule. Everything will be fine. GET IT DONE! President DONALD J. TRUMP

Tennessee passed a new congressional map on Thursday.
The new map would likely eliminate the last remaining Democrat seat in Tennessee.
Tennessee lawmakers passed a new congressional map Thursday that sets up a potential flip of the state’s final Democratic seat.
The push to redraw Tennessee’s congressional lines could erase the state’s final Democratic foothold in Washington, cementing a 9-0 Republican delegation and raising concerns about the future of Black voter representation in Memphis.
Despite vocal disruptions from Democratic lawmakers, the Republican-controlled legislature passed the map, advancing the measure to Gov. Bill Lee for his expected signature. The new map targets the 9th Congressional District—the state’s sole majority-Black district and its last remaining Democratic stronghold.
Republican lawmakers argue the shifts reflect the state’s overall political identity. Tennessee has trended increasingly red over the past several election cycles, and the new lines align with the state’s conservative lean.
