"Alabama's Historic General Election Matchup Set for New 2nd Congressional District"

CNN projects former US Justice Department official Shomari Figures to win the Democratic primary runoff in Alabama’s 2nd Congressional District, potentially making history with two Black House members from Alabama serving together for the first time. The seat was redrawn under a new map that significantly boosted the district’s Black population, creating a pickup opportunity for Democrats. Figures will face Republican nominee Caroleene Dobson in November, with the potential to join Rep. Terri Sewell as the state's second Black member in Congress. The new district was approved after a three-judge panel's ruling, and former US Attorney General Eric Holder sees it as a step toward progress and increased voter turnout.
