A recap of tonight's special election in TN-07 (plus a WAY-TOO-EARLY model of the 2026 midterms).
A swing of 13 points would put Dems over 250 seats in the U.S. House. A more reasonable scenario—say, D+6—still gives them the House, and maybe the Senate.

Republicans held a Trump +22 seat — but by only 9 points. A swing half as large would give Democrats the U.S. House in 2026, and put the Senate clearly in play

The Hernández brothers had been on the take for more than a decade, moving Colombian cocaine through Honduras and toward the US, sometimes in collaboration with the Sinaloa cartel, El Chapo.
