Steve (Steven) Cohen, the Tennessee Democrat who has represented the state’s 9th Congressional District for nearly two decades, has ended his bid for reelection.[1][7]
Reports say Cohen’s announcement came after Tennessee Republicans enacted a new U.S. House map that redrew/split up his majority-Black Memphis-based district, making it more favorable to Republicans.[4][1]
Cohen also said he is challenging the redistricting in court, and that he would reenter the race if the lawsuit restores his old district.[7][1]
