The Don Lemon Show · Justin Pearson Talks Winning His Primary, Nolan Wells, & The DSA · 11 Aug 2026 podcast

Thank you so much.

You know, I'm doing great.

uh realizing we were able to win this primary with 66% of the vote.

We had more people uh who went and casted a ballot for us than our Republican opponent.

Uh I feel really good about where we are and the work that is happening here in Tennessee and across the South.

It's it's it's a good time.

And we're in the fight for our future, we're in the fight for our lives.

And it feels like people recognize that black turnout was up extremely high.

We're just seeing a lot of a lot of growth and potential

I mean, they rigged the map thinking this was a plus 22 Republican district, uh, but maps don't vote.

People do.

Uh, and what we are finding is people are energized, they're fired up, and they're wanting a different vision, a different future for Tennessee and District 9.

But our job is to raise money and it is to make sure that people volunteer and go and help us to win this campaign.

It's not gonna happen just because we wish for it.

We're gonna have to put the work in, but there's no one working harder than us.

We've knocked already 30,000 doors, made over 20,000 phone calls.

That's what it's gonna take uh to win this November.

And we're building the team to be able to do that, uh, which has given me a lot of courage, a lot of hope about the future uh of our campaign.

I think it's available in Tennessee, particularly in in Memphis and Shelby County, because we experienced the worst of the Cali decision with our district, which was majority black, being broken into thirds due to Republicans wanting to give Donald Trump one more seat uh in his very slim uh and narrow majority uh that the Republicans have in the House.

They're literally trying to cheat and steal this election.
