TN-07 Results

[Billiejeens]

Yeah, I know. Except the 7th district splits Nashville with the 5th district. There aren't enough Democrats outside Nashville for her to win.

I'm aware.

WOW! The Democrats dumped a bazillion dollars into Behn's campaign and ONLY lost by 9 percent! Interesting divergence from the polls that had this race 48-46. Why is it pollsters suck so bad at their job?

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

I'd say she underperformed by about 8% from where the polls had her.

 

[excalibur]

59% of the vote reported and Aftyn Behn is only trailing Van Epps by 300 votes. This is a solid red District that Trump won by over 20 percentage points and Behn is a far left extremist. Even if Van Epps wins this, this is a terrible result for the Republicans.

This didn't age well.

Turnout was low compared to the November 2024 general election, and in a district like this that usually beenfts the Dems as Republicans have a terrible track record of turnout in special elections.

More than 179,000 voters participated, a notable improvement over the primary, but just over half of the turnout for Green’s victory over Barry last year.​

It’s not, actually, but that’s definitely the response I will expect from the low human capital on this site.

It is stunning to me that the polls are always wrong and almost always heavily biased against the GOP. This was supposed to be a 2 point race. Instead, Van Epps won by 9 points.

The polls are crap, which is why Dims love them.

BLUE WAVE!

Turnout was roughly the same as 2022. Trump won the district last year by 22 points. Green won it last year by 20 points. Green won it in 2022 by 19 points. Van Epps only won by eight after pouring millions into the race against a bat shit crazy opponent.

But go ahead and tell us again how it usually benefits the Democrats.

At least know what you’re talking about

 

[Deplorable Yankee]

I'm in the east

Nashville and it's burbs are overrun with Californians and other blue states progressive leftards.

This time they'll get it right

I'm glad the farmers and the normie's won

 

[kyzr]

Epps outperformed the polls by 7%, a mid-term lesson that the "blue wave" is not coming.

 

[Hollie]

Crocodiles are swimming in the tears of the left.

If a win isn't a win, then what do you suppose it is?

Dude he won handily. It wasn't even close.

 

[Mac1958]

Even if Van Epps wins this, this is a terrible result for the Republicans.

The Dems have been spiking the football for a few weeks now. They clearly think that just pointing a finger at the obscenity in the Oval Office will be enough for a blue wave. Did you see yesterday when he called affordability "a Democrat hoax"? Incredible. They should be thanking him.

Yet the Dems are still showing zero (0) evidence they understand why they motivated so many people to vote for Trump in the first place. They may get a blue wave, but they really don't deserve it on their own merits.

So 41% gave Van Epps a 15,000 vote lead? LOL

Taz is an example of that "low human capital" he spoke about at the beginning of the thread.

In other words your typical leftist. It took very few posts before he just had to mention Trump.

Why all the sour grapes?

Too bad that Trump did a video rally for his last night!
