Similar to Florida, the story with this flip is also centered around redistricting. Tennessee’s new map broke up a Democratic stronghold district in Nashville (formerly D+15 partisan lean), pushing the boundaries of that district further southwest to include more rural, Republican-leaning counties. The net gain of one Republican-leaning seat from this new congressional map has already paid dividends for the GOP, which flipped another one of the five seats they need to win control of the chamber.
