I'm sorry @aftynbehn.bsky.social lost #TN07 after such a hard fought race.
But she overperformed the 2024 election by ~13.5%!
A few seats up in 2026 that were ~13.5% Trump in 2024:
- #SC01, to be vacated by Nancy Mace
- #NC03 and #NC07 in the new NC gerrymander
- #AKAL and the Alaska Senate race

Right now, on the neo-fascist platform formerly known as Twitter, #DragRace is trending higher in Tennessee than Matt Van Epps or any #TN07 election topics.
It seems news of this election didn't break through to most GOP voters in the district. That could benefit Aftyn Behn. @aftynbehn.bsky.social

I said I would post an update on this #TN07 spreadsheet on the early vote, so here it is!
In the end, the surge in turnout in Williamson County overshadowed Davidson County a bit, but Davidson held its own.
Montgomery County disappointed in the early vote, so hopefully Dems show up there tomorrow!

Laura Loomer is having the day she deserves by watching this press conference with Zohran Mamdani and President Trump.

So let me get this straight:
Under the Trump administration, the coast guard legalizes the swastika, the MOST OBVIOUS Nazi symbol.
But at that moment, the ADL and other conservative-leaning Jewish advocacy groups are too busy tweeting about a left-wing peaceful protest to notice?
We're screwed.

Because I'm a political junkie, I made a #TN07 early vote spreadsheet. Two findings:
1. Davidson County (Nashville) is overperforming.
2. Using 2018 vote data, the early vote electorate gives Bredesen 50%+ (likely higher, as early vote often skews Dem).
@aftynbehn.bsky.social can win this! #TNpol

Twitter users are getting BIG MAD at #grok.
Grok won't confirm their feeling that Senator Elissa Slotkin is "dangerous" and committing "sedition"...all just for reminding our military that they must follow the law.
These MAGA diehards are nuts. They want to put Trump above the US Constitution.

Something to keep an eye on for the #TN07 special election:
Per a post in the #Tennessee Politics subreddit, a woman claiming to be Matt Van Epps's ex-wife said in Facebook comments that he was emotionally and verbally abusive.
All alleged, but more may be coming... #TNPol #TNpolitics #Nashville

Minutes after MAGA congresswoman Elise Stefanik announced her candidacy for #NYGov, a Team Hochul Twitter account for @governor.ny.gov posted this ad.
And boy, it's savage!
But also, if the ad airs on TV, it'll boost Stefanik's chances in a GOP primary.
Hochul wants to face her. #NewYork #NYpol

Happy Election Day, California!
Here are some screenshots from PDI's final pre-Election Day statewide ballot return data report. #EDay #ElectionDay
All signs point to Prop 50 passing in a landslide. I don't want to jinx anything, but I won't be shocked if Yes gets over 60%! #Prop50 #calpoli

California #Prop50 update:
Over the last few days, the Dem share of votes cast grew to 51.5%, rounding up to 52% in PDI's report.
Meanwhile, GOP share is down to 27.3%.
Dem return rate is 27.7%. GOP return is 26.1%. That gap has grown from under 1% to over 1.5%.
Dems are WAY overperforming 2024.

On the surface, one area of weakness for Democrats in the #Prop50 ballot data from PDI is non-white voters.
So far, the ballot return rate for white voters in California is significantly higher than all minority groups.
However, partisan/race return rates show POC Rs doing worse than POC Ds. (3/4)

Digging deeper into data from PDI's latest #Prop50 update:
Among those who have returned ballots, there is little partisan distinction anymore between those who typically vote early and vote late.
That fact means the partisan makeup of future ballots that come in probably won't change much. (2/4)

Per data from PDI, 51% of the 4.4M mail ballots received so far have come from Dems & D return rate is higher than R.
For comparison, in 2024, 49% of ballots before E-Day were Dem. Harris won CA by 20%. (1/4)

I am not a Taylor Swift hater. I like some of her songs. I admire her business acumen and musical talent.
But can we all agree that this morning’s Billboard Hot 100 update is stupid and renders the chart meaningless?
The music industry is broken.
