36:19Now PlayingTennessee Republicans moved fast after the Supreme Court’s ruling in Louisiana v. Callais, pushing new maps that threaten to erase Tennessee’s only majority-Black congressional district just months before the 2026 midterms.
Tennessee State Representative Gloria Johnson joins Susan J. Demas to explain what she calls “Jim Crow with a sharpie,” why the special session felt like a “white power grab,” and how the fight over Tennessee’s maps connects to a broader authoritarian movement across the South.
Johnson also discusses the Tennessee Three, the targeting of Reps. Justin Jones and Justin Pearson, rising white nationalism in Tennessee, and why Democrats cannot afford to write off the South.
