Yes, I’m disappointed by the capitulation, but the Democrats can continue to expose the Trump Republicans’ cruelty and hostility toward working people struggling to get by—especially when they fail to pass a standalone vote on healthcare subsidies.

As an off-cycle special election, turnout in the special election primary for Tennessee’s 7th Congressional District race was down significantly compared to the 2024 General Election -- but Democratic turnout was comparable to Republican, giving Democrats hope. @friedmanadam5.bsky.social reports.
Turnout was down 75% in Middle TN U.S. House special election, particularly in GOP strongholds • Tennessee Lookout
