It’s also a good indication of how the midterms are poised to go.
If 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 House majority. 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 try to hold together his zero-vote margin majority. Please, Tennessee, vote in Aftyn Behn on December 2nd.
That margin would be very short lived and if Rs don’t resign I would expect every sitting R to constantly follow the party line.
On one hand, it’s central Tennessee…..
On the other hand, based on the 2025 elections thus far with GOP candidates getting walloped, even in areas like Georgia and Mississippi, there may be quite a bit of anti-GOP sentiment that could allow Behn to overperform quite a bit regardless of campaign quality/messaging.
They should fear their constituents watching them support an incompetent and cruel narcissist at their expense.
They make everyone else afraid all the time with their policies and actions so their turn
Fuck around and find out, I guess?
This is what happens when you let social media dictate perceived popularity.
It’s what happened with the Dems. It’s what’s happening with Republicans now.
This administration isn’t popular.
Their antics they are using as memes and trolling is even less popular.
Let them keep digging that hole though
Good, no amount of cheating they do will save them next year
Next Nixon like self inflicted L….
I miss JEB!
I mean 10 years of culture wars will do that.
I live in the TN district and we are being INUNDATED with tv ads and mailers. Its an avalanche. GO AFTYN!!!
And they won’t be able to play that bullshit, where some of the GOP vote with the Dems to save their seat, because “see, I vote for the things you want!” Let them be exposed for who they are.
I can’t wait to hear about rigged election if the dem wins
They’ll find a way to steal it.
Turns out, when you lie about the things you are going to do, don’t use your powers to check when you should, allow other reps to play childish political games, lie to your people’s faces, play party over people, and just don’t do your fucking job, the people might elect someone who will do the job.
“I’m very concerned about it. Of course, it’s an off-year election. It’s right after Thanksgiving. A lot of the Republicans are out of town. And I worry about them showing up on Election Day”
In other words, It’s unfair that the poor liberals who can not afford to travel with our tax breaks will be home on Election Day
I’m ready to not see another Republican again
TVA is a democratic initiative. Tennessee should be democratic, get over the racism and vote to improve your future!
One of the reddest parts of Trumpakitsan is fading very very purple. GOP red will run like the b word in the midterms.
God, I hope the dem takes it

Republicans are growing increasingly anxious over a once sleepy special election in Tennessee District 7 next month in a district that President Trump comfortably won by 22 points last year.
While the congressional race has historically been a GOP shoo-in, Republicans are alarmed by a recent poll and fearful that an upset could see their majority in the House slip to a zero-vote margin.
“I’m very concerned about it. Of course, it’s an off-year election. It’s right after Thanksgiving. A lot of the Republicans are out of town. And I worry about them showing up on Election Day,” Rep. Tim Burchett (R-Tenn.), who represents Tennessee’s District 2, which encompasses Knoxville, told The Post.

>“It’s a razor-thin margin.“
>If Democrats eke out an upset victory in Tennessee District 7, then proceed to win their two vacated seats in special elections, the GOP’s House majority could eventually fall to 218 to 216.
IF! This means nothing if people don’t VOTE!
There are enough dirty tricks in play that the Republican will win, but it will be very close, and that will scare Republicans into upping their election rigging plans for next year…
I wish they didn’t fixate on „margin of error“ on these things. The margin if error is set based on a fairly arbitrary probability that it will be in that range.
Unfortunately, I think this will probably not see a democrat victory. I can imagine a lot of regular Republican voters will tell pollsters they’re voting Democrat but when they get to the poll will end up going with the party they’re loyal to.
Yeah, there ain’t going to be any upset in Tennessee 😂
The funniest part is watching them panic over a problem entirely if their own making
