General election race ratings

See also: Race rating definitions and methods

Ballotpedia provides race ratings from three outlets: The Cook Political Report, Inside Elections, and Sabato's Crystal Ball. Each race rating indicates if one party is perceived to have an advantage in the race and, if so, the degree of advantage:

  • Safe and Solid ratings indicate that one party has a clear edge and the race is not competitive.
  • Likely ratings indicate that one party has a clear edge, but an upset is possible.
  • Lean ratings indicate that one party has a small edge, but the race is competitive.[1]
  • Toss-up ratings indicate that neither party has an advantage.

Race ratings are informed by a number of factors, including polling, candidate quality, and election result history in the race's district or state.[2][3][4]

Post-filing deadline analysis

The following analysis covers all U.S. House districts up for election in Tennessee in 2022. Information below was calculated on July 11, 2022, and may differ from information shown in the table above due to candidate replacements and withdrawals after that time.

Thirty-six candidates filed to run for Tennessee's nine U.S. House districts, including 13 Democrats and 23 Republicans. That's four candidates per district, less than the five candidates per district in 2020 and the 5.4 in 2018.

This was the first election to take place under new district lines following the 2020 census. Tennessee was apportioned nine districts, the same number it was apportioned after the 2010 census. The 36 candidates who ran this year were the fewest candidates who filed to run for Tennessee's U.S. House seats since 2012, when 36 candidates ran as well. Forty-five candidates ran in 2020, 49 in 2018, 48 in 2016, and 39 in 2014.

One district — the 5th — was open. That was down from two open seats in 2020, 2018 and 2016. There were no open seats in 2014 or 2012. Rep. Jim Cooper (D), who represented the 5th district, didn't file for re-election. Ten candidates — one Democrat and nine Republicans — ran to replace Cooper, the most candidates who ran for a seat this year.

There were eight contested primaries this year — four Democratic and four Republican. That was the same number as in 2020 and five fewer than in 2018, when there were 13 contested primaries. There were ten contested primaries in 2016, 11 in 2014, and ten in 2012.

Five incumbents — all Republicans — didn't face primary challengers. Republican and Democratic candidates filed to run in all nine districts, so no seats were guaranteed to either party this year.

Presidential elections

As a result of redistricting following the 2020 census, many district boundaries changed. As a result, analysis of the presidential vote in each of these new districts is not yet available. Once that analysis is available, it will be published here.

Redistricting following the 2020 census

On November 22, 2023, the Davidson County Chancery Court struck down the state senate map, declaring it unconstitutional. The court ordered the state to create a new state senate map by January 31, 2024.[5] On April 13, 2022, the Tennessee Supreme Court reversed a ruling by the Davidson County Chancery Court on April 6 blocking the same state senate map. Gov. Lee signed the state's legislative districts into law on February 6, 2022.[6]
