The eye-opening thing for me is that Davidson County only accounted for 24% of the votes cast. So you could absolutely crush it in Nashville, which Aftyn did, and still lose pretty handily. Seems like it will take a Dem who can win Nashville AND Clarksville.
“Tonight, you sent a clear message loud and clear,” Matt Van Epps said to the crowd at the Millennium Maxwell House Hotel in Nashville during his election night party. “The people of Middle Tennessee stand proudly behind President Donald Trump.”

Though she didn’t win, left-bent candidate Aftyn Behn ran well ahead of recent Democratic candidates in a deep-red district in Tennessee. It’s another strong sign of a midterm breeze against Trump and Republicans.

Aftyn Behn fell short of achieving the impossible. No shame. I hope she keeps up the fight.

Aftyn Behn and Tennessee Dems should be proud of the strong results in a district that went 22 points for Trump in 2024. This falls in line with the nationwide discontent with Republicans. She earned 45% of the votes in a red district.

Appreciation post for @aftynbehn.bsky.social! What an incredible candidate, organizer, and leader. She scared the entire regime and all their donors. The swing we're seeing tonight implies a blue tsunami next year if Dem voters choose fighters like Aftyn in the coming primaires. Thank you Aftyn!!!
We’re so grateful to @aftynbehn.bsky.social for running an incredible grassroots campaign that made Republicans sweat in a deep-red district. Thank you to everybody in #TN07, across Tennessee, and nationwide for making this special election closer than anyone imagined it could be.

Behn outperformed previous Democrats in the district and forced unusual defense from national Republicans, but fell short of other dem special election gains this year and couldn’t flip the district:

I wish there was a precedent for what happens when a demagogue picks out a vulnerable minority group and labels them as subhuman. I wonder what the next step is and whether any innocent people get hurt. And I wonder whether the demagogue's followers go on trial when the whole thing is over.
here's Trump's full racist rant about MN's Somali community: "Somalians ripped off that state for billions. And they contribute nothing... Ilhan Omar is garbage. She's garbage. Her friends are garbage. These aren't people that work... They come from hell & do nothing but bitch. We don't want them"

I am begging one, JUST ONE, congressional reporter to follow up with Mike Johnson by asking, "What are the American people to make of a Speaker of the House who tells us daily that he's not aware of what's happening on Capitol Hill and the White House?"

Trump laid the blame on Hegseth, and now Hegseth is laying the blame on Bradley. Is Bradley going to lay the blame on the 20-year-old naval man they ordered to fire the missile next? What a bunch of spineless little shits.

BREAKING: President Trump declared that all of former President Biden’s pardons are now “invalid.” There is no legal mechanism for presidents to revoke their predecessors’ pardons but if Trump is taken seriously, thousands could be thrown into legal chaos.

If the entire Trump administration doesn't realize that this would guarantee that the Trump pardons they're all banking on will also be declared invalid by a future president, nobody tell them.
