Democrats’ task gets harder heading into general elections this fall. Tennessee’s 9th District, which had been the state’s only blue seat, is now rated Solid Republican by the Cook Political Report and went for Trump by 21 points in 2024.

“Everyone that came out last night — that needs to double for November,” Knight said.

That district was dispersed into 3 other districts. I hope this story inspires black voters throughout the south, but for the the people in Memphis, they lost. The 9th district was Tennessee’s only blue district. I don’t think it is coming back any time soon.
