"If Democrats see the same shift in Congress next year as they saw in TN-07 Tuesday night, they’d win a landslide victory of 258 seats in the U.S. House."
A recap of tonight's special election in TN-07 (plus a WAY-TOO-EARLY model of the 2026 midterms).
A swing of 13 points would put Dems over 250 seats in the U.S. House. A more reasonable scenario—say, D+6—still gives them the House, and maybe the Senate.

What the special election in Tennessee's Seventh District means for the 2026 midterms
Republicans held a Trump +22 seat — but by only 9 points. A swing half as large would give Democrats the U.S. House in 2026, and put the Senate clearly in play

Texas Democrats are risking political careers, enduring personal sacrifice, and refusing to be complicit in Trump’s authoritarian playbook. They are showing the rest of us what it means to use every tool at your disposal.
But Texas Dems cannot win this fight alone. Let’s get to work. 👇
