Tennessee Redistricting Backfires?

Tennessee Republicans redraw congressional maps to lock in nine GOP seats by splitting Democratic strongholds—especially in Memphis—aiming to dilute Democratic power. But the strategy may backfire: newly drawn districts now have tighter margins, making them more competitive, especially in a midterm year with falling presidential approval. Experts warn Republicans risk overextending themselves by stretching thin across more contested races. While immediate seat flips are unlikely, the move could energize Democrats and turn future elections into costly, nail-biting contests for incumbents.
