I don’t think it will happen, but that would put Republicans in full blown panic and the ratfuckery of trying to rig 2026 will go from cute little things like illegal gerrymanders to straight up ballot stuffing and election cancelations.

I hope the people in Tennessee get out and vote for this Democrat. People are very unhappy with Republicans and Trump.

Trump won TN-07 by 22 points in 2024 so the fact that this is even close sends quite a signal.

I swear to god, if she pulls this off and the DNC keeps up with their same old shit, the party needs to end.

> An Emerson College/The Hill survey released on the final day of in-person early voting shows Republican Matt Van Epps leading Democrat Aftyn Behn 48 percent to 46 percent among likely voters, with five percent undecided and two percent backing third-party candidates. The poll has a margin of error of 3.9 percentage points. When leaning voters are included, the gap narrows to 49–47 percent, underscoring a dramatic tightening in a district long considered a GOP stronghold.
„48 percent to 46 percent among likely voters“ changing to „49 to 47 percent when including leaning voters“ does not „narrow the gap“. Are there any journalists with functioning brains left or is this all AI?

This is an actual sign that MAGA might be on its last legs.
If you’ve lost deep red state Republicans, who treat hating Democrats like it’s their second religion, you KNOW something has been broken.

This is a surprise considering Tennessee is 70% white, only 20% of the state uses the ACA and 10% SNAP. The Epstein thing must’ve really pissed off some Tennesseans.

Anything close to that result would mean the Dems were closer to 300 seats than GOP is to gerrymandering themselves a gain.
Either epic, or an epic bad poll.

I don’t think people understand how incredible it is that this race is even close. Lived around this area my whole life Republicans have a super majority in the state and the maps are gerrymandered to all ends. Check out this [map](https://comptroller.tn.gov/maps/u-s–congress-districts.html) and this race is for district 7. You can see what they did to Davidson Co (Nashville) so the city never really gets a true representation of ideas. The majority of they make up of that district is as red as it gets so while I want a win an extremely close race as it’s turning out to be is at the very least promising sign for the rest of the country come mid terms.

As a Tennessean, I hope this happens. The abuse of our beautiful state and people by Republicans has deeply ruined my home, and I want nothing more for Republicans to start sweating and fearing the day that their grip ends. We deserve so much better that the pieces of shits that have been running this place.

Should that occur, I will immediately perform the Tennessee Waltz around the room. And I can’t even dance.

I personally am not going to get my hopes up that it will flip (it’s Tennessee for God’s sake) but the fact that it is THIS close is a very, very big deal and good sign for anyone in opposition to the fascist regime in the WH.

I’ll believe it when I see it. Remember that poll that showed Dems doing well in Iowa?

That republicans have to defend this is a moral victory.
That the Dems haven’t labeled the guy as a pedo protector is a shame. He was going to not release the files.

How long until Johnson seats her?

We were „close“ in FL-6 too with Josh Weil (tho maybe for the best as it turns out a few months later he was diagnosed with something that made him drop his Senate run).
It could happen. I’m not saying it can’t but we gotta temper expectations. Even with a loss if the gap is closed significantly that is still something to build momentum with.

The more you gerrymander the worse your lead in each district gets. If they keep this shit up, the midterms could actually be a major bloodbath.

Please don’t vote for Matt Van Epstein

It was R+22 regardless of that outcome that is a disaster for the gop

Its hard to trust the polls as NJ Governor race was supposed to be a dead heat, instead it was blowout.
If this is a close race in a solid red district, think of the trouble the GOP could face in November for districts that are competitive.

Wow, after growing up in a deep red state in the Midwest and serving in the Army with several guys from Tennessee (our two states were the top two contributors to Army recruiting), this would be a HUGE change if it happens.
They’ll still blame it on outside money if it happens, but this would be a giant sign to Republicans that their behavior in the last 5-10 years is backfiring. It’s all beginning to fall apart.
