What to know about this week’s US primary elections in Tennessee and Hawaii

Voters in Tennessee and Hawaii are participating in midterm primary elections to select candidates for November's general elections. In Tennessee, the political landscape has shifted due to recent redistricting following a Supreme Court decision that weakened federal voting protections for minorities. This led to the division of the state's only Black-majority congressional district, which was previously represented by a Democrat. Republicans are aiming for a complete takeover of all nine congressional districts, while Senator Marsha Blackburn seeks the Republican nomination for governor. In Hawaii, two current Democratic congressmen face challenges, and the Democratic governor is also under threat from multiple opponents. Key races in Tennessee include the Republican gubernatorial primary and the Ninth Congressional District, which has undergone significant redistricting.
