Based on the Supreme Court ruling, Senator Blackburn proposed a 9R-0D redistricting map for Tennessee now that racial gerrymandering is hopefully ended. Other Red states will follow suit since racial gerrymandering is restricted. Racial gerrymandering was never about race. It was only about getting more votes for Democrats.
Republican states can now redistrict, as long as party, not race, is considered in the new maps. SCOTUS will uphold that, ultimately, if lower courts do not.
There are reports that it’s too late for 2028.

Barack Obama is unhappy. He wants race to be considered, but only for non-whites. He wrote on X:

The good news is that such setbacks can be overcome. But that will only happen if citizens across the country who cherish our democratic ideals continue to mobilize and vote in record numbers – not just in the upcoming midterms or in high profile races, but in every election and every level.
The Voting Rights Act has outlived the need for it.
