You are 100% right Cindy! #fortmeyers
When we went for #earlyvoting #TN7 we just assumed it had to do with moving
When in fact it’s compounded by #gerrymandering #eastnashville
Without carving up #Nashville #Aftyn4TN 4 #Tennessee would’ve been able to represent #Tennesseean's interests. #grassroots
Some quick thoughts about the functioning of the bullshit media cycle and #TN7. Clearly the mod group chat got together earlier this week and decided when @aftynbehn.bsky.social lost, they had a chance to run their standard play. The story writes itself:
Yes, and remember the shift in #TN7
didn't "just happen on its own":
A good candidate stepped up.
People organized.
People knocked doors.
People phone banked.
People donated.
Build the movement.
Find your lane.
Get ready.
We can make the 2026 midterms an epic rebuke of the GOP,
together.
TN-7 voted their Self-interest: Racism. They did as White Americans have always done. They voted for their premium seat in the social hierarchy. Not Health or Economic well-being. Let's redefine what it means to "vote one's interests". Race is at the Core #racism #tn7

@thetnholler.bsky.social Methinks #JoshHawley saw #Trump shrink the #GOP margin in #gerrymandered #TN7 district yesterday!
How many #BananaRepublicans in #Congress decided to not run for re-election yesterday? 🤔
Are you concerned #TN7 was closer than in the past?”
@RepTimBurchett (R): “Yeah. We have a real problem and we need to wake up… Republicans do a terrible job… ”

“Are you concerned #TN7 was closer than in the past?”
@RepTimBurchett (R): “Yeah. We have a real problem and we need to wake up… Republicans do a terrible job of messaging.”
Thank you, @aftynbehn.bsky.social & your campaign team, for sending a loud & clear message to the rest of the country.
A *LOT* of GOP-held House seats that folks thought were safe red seats are *NOT* safe red seats.

WATCH: “Matt Van Epps is wallpaper.”
Kanew says boring new #TN7 Rep. Van Epps will go to Congress and quietly do the bidding of Trump and the billionaires, just like all the rest — and even a Republican Holler viewer agrees with his ex-wife’s “robot” 🤖 assessment.
CNN on the #TN7 Results: “Republicans should be running for the hills this morning.”
WATCH: “It’s important not to learn the wrong lessons.”
Kanew on #TN7 + why those saying a more corporatist/centrist candidate would outperform @aftynbehn.bsky.social are getting it wrong and wouldn’t generate the same excitement as her populist affordability anti-corruption message.
I love all the post-game analysis about the close shave MAGA suffered in TN-7 Tuesday but I feel compelled to give a vigorous shout-out to AFTYN BEHN. She was everywhere slugging it out and deserves major props for putting it all on the line.
Well done, young lady. Well done
#AftynBehn #TN7
#TN7 #specialelection where #AftynBehn lost by single digits to #VanEpps in a Trump +22 district means that in the #midterms there’s not a single place in America where it’s impossible for a #Democrat to win. Not one. #everySeat #blueWave2026

Tennessee Election Map Shows Huge Voter Shift From Trump to Democrats - Newsweek share.google/Hi2lEHH8g0QC...
President Trump celebrates a Republican victory in Tennessee, but the lower margin gives Democrats hope for next year's midterm elections. And the candidate who once said, "I hate country music," sings a Dolly Parton song before delivering an optimistic concession speech. Welcome to #TN7
While I would have preferred to win #TN7, let's not overrate how important a House majority is. It's enough to create articles of impeachment, but that is toothless without Republican support in the Senate. Remember we had the majority when Trump plotted a coup in 2020.
So 100,000 less people voted in #TN7 than in 2024.
WTF is wrong with people?!? It should be illegal to not vote. And yes, we should make it easier to vote by mail. After doing it for 5 years in California m, I feel like it’s beyond stupid to not allow it.
Despite @aftynbehn.bsky.social generating real excitement with an authentic progressive anti-corruption message and getting closer than anyone in #TN7, *experts* are already dropping predictable “a centrist would’ve done better” takes - as though that hasn’t been tried here many times.
Now I am fired up.
Pamela here showed me how I can help.
I will volunteer for #TN5 next year to get Andy Ogles, the George Santos of the South, to pack up his crap and shirk back to Maury county.
#Tennessee #TN7
Hats off to @aftynbehn.bsky.social and an army of volunteers in #TN7.
A moral victory certainly, though (like many) I was hoping for a win.
Let this be a good indicator for the 2026 midterms, despite Trump’s efforts to monkey wrench the votes.
We need to keep fighting!
#VoteBlue
TN blue dots in that really red state showing up, voting, and making their voices heard. Big turnout, big shift to blue, and cutting into that GOP margin. Even though it didn't quite happen this time, we are making progress for the next. It will happen. Stay strong, folks, and keep the faith! #TN7
This was a +22 district for Trump; Aftyn Behn made #TN7 too close a race. That told Rs & Trump what must be done:
"Trump can be expected to redouble his efforts to rig the midterms via gerrymanders. The outcome is too important to his legacy to be left to voters."
It will get ugly.

Am always exceedingly proud of my kids, but tonight feel especially proud that they’ll share an alma mater (Webb School, Knoxville) with @aftynbehn.bsky.social - who ran a hell of a race tonight in #TN7 & gave so many of us a real reason to feel hopeful for TN’s future.
#TN7 Behn ran a great campaign and has gained lots of new supporters
