And now, with a special election in Tennessee coming in early December, they may delay her swearing in until after that, hoping the TN seat is won by the Republican.

All the more reason to get out and support @aftynbehn.bsky.social for the win in TN-7.

Johnson is hoping this special election will offset Grijalva's win in Arizona. It's a hope against hope, but we sent @aftynbehn.bsky.social a few dollars today to encourage her to keep up the fight.

I wasn't following this primary at all, glad to see the more progressive candidate won. If this was the general election it would have been 52-47 Republican win but that's really close for how red this seat is.
