Alabama Holds Congressional Primaries After Redistricting
New maps eliminate a majority-Black congressional district.
Event Overview
Alabama is holding congressional primaries following a U.S. Supreme Court decision that allowed the Republican-controlled state legislature to redraw district maps. These new boundaries eliminate one of the state's two majority-Black districts, specifically removing Mobile from the 2nd Congressional District. Rhett Marques, a Trump-endorsed candidate, is projected to have won the GOP primary for the redesigned 2nd District.
