With a week until President Donald Trump returns to the White House, Memphis’ representatives in the U.S. House and Senate are poised for new priorities to go with the new administration.
In some ways, that means a continuation of the party-line divisions among the one Democrat and four Republicans whose districts include Memphis. In other ways, there is some bipartisanship away from the hot-button partisan issues.
