I do not think Dems will have a swing of 15 points from 2024 in 2026, BUT, ignoring candidate effects there would be about 270 Democratic House members and 54 senators in that scenario.

A 17-point swing there turns into about 250 seats.

Fucjin R+22 to R+5.6? In an off year election?? In a district gerrymandered to fuck to keep it republican?? Fuck yeah, TN07, y'all done good. Swinging a district like that 16 points is hard goddamned work so y'all go have something to eat and get some rest.

Updating - total reported turnout in the TN7 special is now 168k, or 93% of the total votes cast in the November, 2022 midterm general election, a race the GOP won by 22 pts. The GOP has some serious issues right now.

If the TN 07 special election ends up with a 14-point shift in margin toward the Democrat compared to the 2024 presidential election, it is worth noting that there are 50 Republicans currently serving in the House in districts that Trump won by 14 points or less.

Total turnout in this special election race is approaching 90% of the last midterm's (2022) general election turnout. This was a VERY high turnout special election, and still saw a double digit swing away from GOPs.

NBC News projects: Matt Van Epps (R) wins TN-7 special election.

Trump won the district by 22 points in 2024.

Now with 90% of the vote in, Van Epps is winning by 4.1%.

The fact that there's been some actual election night suspense on how Tennessee ends is going to be enough to trigger those cold sweats among House Republicans.

And Dems will likely get to point to another (admittedly way smaller!) flip, stay tuned for that.

The last county, Williamson, has reported its early votes. Based on early votes everywhere and E-Day votes in a handful of counties, Van Epps (R) now leads districtwide, 49.6–49.3%. #TN07

Election Day votes will likely be redder than early votes in every county, meaning that Van Epps will probably gain ground as more votes are counted in every county other than Davidson. So Behn needs Davidson to come up big. #TN07

The Davidson County early vote has reported, and it goes for Behn (D) by a whopping 85–15%. She now leads districtwide 53–46% with 44% of the expected vote counted. #TN07

It’s not deporting, if you’re sending citizens to another country. It’s human trafficking. In this case, it’s also slave labor. You’re talking about an administration selling US citizens into slave labor.

At this point, you can’t convince me they aren’t manipulating the market.

As soon as the indexes started peaking today, the White House started talking about tariffs on China, and everything is in the red again.
