This story sums up Trump: No need for evidence. No need for laws or treaties. No need for discussions. If Trump decides (based upon whatever random information or maybe just heartburn) that someone is in the wrong, he believes he has the right to kill them.

How much effort and energy the GOP spent on a 22 point Trump district to barely win is the take away of this Tennessee Special Election.

The interesting thing about the TN-07 vote is that Van Epps doesn’t seem like a terrible candidate—the 15 point swing in favor of Democrats isn’t primarily a candidate effect.
If 2026 is anything close to a +15 environment for Democrats, it’s going to be the biggest wave election in a long time.

A big blue wave is building in backlash to the regime. The fact that Republicans had to fight so hard to defend a Trump +22 district is more very bad news for MAGA. No amount of gerrymandering can stop what’s coming in November. The American people are sick and tired of Trump’s chaos and corruption.
