“The GOP-led Tennessee state House passed a new congressional map Thursday”
VERIFIED BY REFERENCE
The provided evidence mentions that Tennessee Republicans 'unveiled' a new map and that lawmakers were 'to vote' on it, but none of the provided sources explicitly confirm that the GOP-led Tennessee state House actually passed the map on a specific 'Thursday'. The search results discuss the process and the context of redistricting but do not provide the final confirmation of the vote's passage on that specific day.

“Tennessee currently has eight Republicans and one Democrat — Rep. Steve Cohen, whose district is centered in the city of Memphis — in its House delegation.”
VERIFIED BY REFERENCE

Wikipedia entries for Steve Cohen and Tennessee's 9th congressional district confirm that Rep. Steve Cohen is the Democrat and that his district is centered in Memphis.
