Tennessee's 8th District Remade

Tennessee’s 8th District just got a whole lot more competitive thanks to redistricting—now stretching from rural areas to East Memphis. Republican incumbent David Kustoff faces no primary challenge, setting his sights on whoever wins the Democratic nomination in August. With three candidates vying for the nomination—former pilot Dewey Bryan, deputy sheriff Jordan Hinders, and pastor Leonard Perkins—the Dems are scrambling to win over voters beyond their traditional strongholds. Bryan and Perkins emphasize boots-on-the-ground campaigning, while Hinders frames the race as a fight against gerrymandering that diluted Memphis voters’ power. Could this redrawn map be the key to flipping a seat that’s long been GOP territory? The battle’s just begun. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
