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.

What the special election in Tennessee's Seventh District means for the 2026 midterms
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

Tony Hernandez was aided in his criminal enterprise by his brother Juan Hernández, President of Honduras.
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.
