Tennessee primary voters selected state senator Brent Taylor and state representative Justin Pearson as Republican and Democratic nominees for the revamped 9th congressional district, a seat central to Donald Trump's plan to retain a slim Republican House majority. The district, previously Democratic-leaning and majority Black, was redrawn to favor Republicans, stretching 200 miles from Memphis to Nashville. In another race, Republican Andy Ogles lost to Charlie Hatcher, a rare Trump endorsement defeat.
