A Democratic win in TN-7 is a long shot, but not impossible.
This is a district that was created when they gerrymandered the state to take away the Democratic seat in Nashville, and it was one Trump won by 22 points a year ago.
If the GOP squeaks by with say 5-7 points, that's a red alarm.

It’s just wild to watch Trump fall asleep constantly in meetings, then he wakes up and calls Joe Biden “sleepy.”

Trump pardoned former Honduran president Juan Orlando Hernandez, who got 45 years in prison last year for conspiring to import cocaine to the US. Prosecutors said he ran Honduras like a "narco-state" and accepted millions of dollars in bribes from drug traffickers. He walked out of prison today.

Guess nobody in the Trump Administration believes in "The Buck Stops Here."
It seems to lack military honor (or any kind of honor fwiw) to blame an underling for executing your own order.
Be a man, Pete. Take responsibility. This is on you.

Imagine thinking yourself a Christian and posting this on the 1st Sunday of Advent - when the reading in church was:
they shall beat their swords into ploughshares,
and their spears into pruning-hooks;
nation shall not lift up sword against nation,
neither shall they learn war any more.
