If Democrat Aftyn Behn pulls off a historical upset in the upcoming Tennessee special election and flips this Trump+22 district from the GOP, that would mean the GOP would be left with the slimmest 218-216 majority in the House. This means that any single defection from the GOP would result in a failure on a party-line vote, and we know that Thomas Massie tends to vote No on GOP bills quite often.
It would be absolutely hilarious to witness Mike Johnson struggle to hold together his zero-vote margin House majority. Please, Tennessee, elect Aftyn Behn on Tuesday!

I’ll believe it when everyone stands up against the nonsense instead of retiring

Trump’s approval rating is dropping just like his ability to sit up in a chair.
I think he’ll have health issues, and JD will have to take over, can it get worse..yes.

A Trump +22 district close? We might finally be getting close to Lindsay’s prophecy that Trump will destroy the Republican Party.

I’d love for her to win, but… This feels like hopium. It’s fucking Tennessee.
Would love to be wrong.

Just a reminder that if the Republican wins, it’s not a huge deal, don’t take it as some reaffirmation of MAGA. The reality is that he probably will win, but don’t let anyone frame that as a democratic failure. The fact it’s even remotely competitive is the real story here. Win or lose it’s already clear Trump has become toxic and the real test will be mid terms.

I’m not much of a socdem supporter, but if she wins and it causes Republicans to look like dumbasses I’m all for it. Either way I hope it severely weakens the stranglehold that Republicans have had over Tennessee for decades.

Donald Trump is becoming politically radioactive.
