Republicans are panicking in #TN07 🔥
Aftyn Behn turned their “safe red” seat into a real fight, forcing them to dump millions and fly in JD Vance. A people-powered campaign is cracking their grip. She’s calling out high prices, rigged tariffs, and a system that treats Tennesseans like collateral.

'Nobody wants to come': What if the US can no longer attract immigrant physicians?
Immigrants make up a significant proportion of all the country's doctors. New policies are making it harder and less appealing for foreign-born physicians to come to the U.S.
