From 4h agoLone Tennessee House Democrat says he will end re-election bid after state gerrymanderSteve Cohen, the lone House Democrat from Tennessee, announced that he would not seek re-election after his district was redrawn in the state’s new congressional map.“This is by far the most difficult moment I’ve had as an elected official,” Cohen, who has served in the US House since 2007, told reporters on Capitol Hill on Friday. “I don’t want to quit. I’m not a quitter. But these districts were drawn to beat me.”The new map, passed by Tennessee’s GOP-dominated legislature last week, splits up the ninth district and funnels Black voters in the Memphis area into three different constituencies.Now, all of Tennessee’s congressional districts are Republican-leaning. The state’s gerrymander came a week after the US supreme court effectively gutted a major section of the Voting Rights Act.Key events1h agoHere's a recap of the day so far1h agoUS state department says Lebanon and Israel agree to a 45-day ceasefire extension2h agoTrump pushes endorsement for Letlow in Louisiana Senate primary3h agoHakeem Jeffries says 'Congress and the nation' are better for Cohen's tenure in office4h agoLone Tennessee House Democrat says he will end re-election bid after state gerrymander8h agoSouth Carolina governor orders special redistricting session8h agoHere's a recap of the day so far9h agoTrump 'OK' with suspending nuclear program if done with a 'real commitment'10h agoTrump says that he and Xi spoke 'a lot' about Taiwan10h agoChina markets fall as Trump leaves Beijing11h agoSummary14h agoTrump departs Beijing after talks with Xi15h agoSummary15h agoHow Trump is spending last hours of the summit16h agoTrump says he 'won't be much more patient' with Iran17h agoTrump says 'a lot of different problems' settled with Xi17h agoTrump says getting Iran's enriched uranium 'more for public relations'17h agoXi and Trump meet at Chinese leadership compound18h agoUS confident China will try to limit material support for Iran – Greer20h agoUS policy on Taiwan ‘unchanged’ – Rubio21h agoWelcome summaryShow key events onlyPlease turn on JavaScript to use this featureHere's a recap of the day so far
