This was supposed to be a blow out for the Republican… Oops
Well done Behn!

I figured Tennessee was a Safe Red seat? They must be pissed off.

I don’t lean optimistic knowing the election is dependent on Tennessee knuckle draggers.

This is the moment Taylor Swift should say something and endorse the democrat. She owns all of Nashville so she has sway in Tennessee.

Democrat Aftyn Behn is polling within two points of her opponent, Republican Matt Van Epps. This is less than the poll’s margin of error.
That is incredibly impressive, given that Trump won the district by 22% in 2024.

Trump won the district by 22 points, the fact that it’s even close should really start to panic republicans

Now… how to keep voter intimidation away from polls… and keep ballot counts legit.

It would be awesome to see the gerrymandering they did to Nashville backfire! Let’s go TN-7 vote Aftyn!

I’ll believe it when the election is done.

I don’t put 1 cent on a bet in Tennessee but I’m always open for a surprise…

Election is Next Tuesday.

If she gets within single digits, that should be an absolute tsunami warning for Republicans. A victory would be unthinkable.

I swear to God if yall don’t lock the fuck in, man. Y’all are supposed to be red hot blooded country Americans! Get those downright dirty scum of the Earth griftercritter Repubs out of office! USA! USA! USA! 🇺🇸

As a reminder – while this *sounds* great, Polls are becoming more and more unreliable, especially at a congressional seat level. Further a special election is all about turnout since the numbers are usually low.
I will hope, but I won’t hold my breath. Nor will I invest any emotion into it until it happens.
Now, if it is truly this close or even a Dem win – then let’s talk, especially since this MTGs seat up for grabs.

Come on Tennessee. You know what to do. End this nightmare regime

Turnout is going very low. Any GOTV effort will swing this. Dems have a huge chance to win here with how things are.

Anyone that supports a Rethuglikkkon is a traitor to the USA at this point.

Not just a democrat

As a native Tennessean, honestly surprised to see that it’s close. If she gets it, that’s gonna be a pretty damning indictment of the GOP, because TN is absolutely crimson red.

I donated even tho I’m out of state. I’d just really like her to flip this district—death knells for Trump!

Behn seems like a cool populist. Really hope she can somehow pull it out.
