#tn7 — Public Fediverse posts

Live and recent posts from across the Fediverse tagged #tn7, aggregated by home.social.

  1. One lesson I'm taking from the #TN7 special election this week, that I'm not seeing others point out, is how much effort Republicans put in to keep the win. They won't be able to rally that many big names for every Republican seat in Congress, which is all the more reason for Democrats to challenge every seat, even "safe Republican" seats that they can't win. Make them sweat and spread the resources thin. There's no way my deep-red district will vote D, but it can cost the national party.

  2. “Are you concerned #TN7 was closer than in the past?” @RepTimBurchett (R): “Yeah. We have a real problem and we need to wake up… Republicans do a terrible job of messaging.”

  3. WATCH: “Matt Van Epps is wallpaper.” Kanew says boring new #TN7 Rep. Van Epps will go to Congress and quietly do the bidding of Trump and the billionaires, just like all the rest — and even a Republican Holler viewer agrees with his ex-wife’s “robot” 🤖 assessment.

  4. CNN on the #TN7 Results: “Republicans should be running for the hills this morning.”

  5. WATCH: “It’s important not to learn the wrong lessons.” Kanew on #TN7 + why those saying a more corporatist/centrist candidate would outperform @[email protected] are getting it wrong and wouldn’t generate the same excitement as her populist affordability anti-corruption message.

  6. Despite @[email protected] generating real excitement with an authentic progressive anti-corruption message and getting closer than anyone in #TN7, *experts* are already dropping predictable “a centrist would’ve done better” takes - as though that hasn’t been tried here many times.

  7. ⚡️Projections starting to come in calling it for Van Epps 🤖 , despite a huge, very respectable overperformance from Aftyn Behn that speaks volumes about the stiff, angry winds Republicans face the coming midterms. #TN7

  8. First #TN7 results to hit come in from cherry-red Stewart & Wayne counties (For reference Wayne has been 95% trump in the past)

    "When I look around the country, I see places where hope is real; you can feel it in the air. It’s not manufactured, not performed, not marketed.

    TN-7 (Aftyn Behn) one of those places right now. You can feel the enthusiasm because it’s rooted in authenticity. People don't show up because she flatters them.

    They show up because Behn represents them — their fears, their needs, their future. That kind of energy can’t be faked… #news #politics #usa #aftynbehn #TN7 #eu #Tennessee #us #maga #democracy #tv #fascism #tech #congress #unitedstates #donaldtrump #trump #america #ai #media #press #culture #russia #putin #ukraine #nato

  10. It’s clear @[email protected] is the candidate not in the pockets of special interests Meanwhile Van Epps had billionaires dump millions into his Republican primary 💰 #TN7

  11. 👂LISTEN: Matt Van Epps clings tight to Trump like a Koala 🐨 despite Trump’s historic unpopularity. #TN7

  12. 🔥 @[email protected] : “Trump is so deeply unpopular and his support so toxic that it is endangering districts Democrats should have no business being competitive in… Van Epps is an uncharismatic soaking wet blanket.” 👀 #TN7

  13. 🔥 AL GORE: “We already have way too many subservient cowards in Congress, the last thing we need is to send another one (Van Epps 🤖) — you can make tomorrow the turning point for our country by getting out and voting for Rep. @[email protected] .” #TN7 Full: www.threads.com/@thetnholler...

  14. 🔥 WATCH — @[email protected] : “Tennessee is ready to elect @[email protected]. Miracles can happen… to run in an R+22 seat takes a very special kind of person with a very special kind of guts.” #TN7 Full: www.threads.com/@thetnholler...

  15. WATCH: “The barrage of negative attacks against me are because Republicans don’t have a plan to address the affordability crisis.” Rep. @[email protected] draws a contrast between her accessible gathering in Franklin vs. Van Epps’ billionaire gated mansion event earlier. #TN7

  16. 🔥🎵 NASHVILLE IN HARMONY: “Better vote Tuesday!” #TN7 🎵 www.instagram.com/reel/DRuMxgg...

  17. 👂 SPEAKER JOHNSON: “Matt Van Epps will be the deciding vote” (for Trump’s unpopular agenda that strips health care from millions) #TN7 (h/t @american_bridge )

  18. WATCH: @MarshaBlackburn knows the #TN7 race is close, and hilariously claims even Dems support Trump’s agenda 🤔— which is historically unpopular.

  19. #TN7 — TODAY IN FRANKLIN, TN: Trump phoned into the Van Epps rally at a billionaire’s gated mansion and over Speaker Johnson’s phone said Rep. @[email protected] “hates Christianity” (false) 🤥 and “the whole world is watching Tennessee” (true) ✅

  20. HAPPENING NOW IN FRANKLIN: Republican #TN7 nominee Matt Van Epps has moved his event from Puckett’s to the gated mansion estate of a right wing billionaire. Police are outside and told us it’s a closed door event. Seems to say a lot about who Matt plans to represent.

  21. True. Van Epps has shifted his event tomorrow from Pucketts to a right wing billionaire’s mansion in Franklin to avoid any protests on the eve of the election. Says it all, really. #TN7

  27. CNN: “Trump calls you ‘the @[email protected] of Tennessee’— Are you in line with her politics? Do you feed into it rallying with her?” @[email protected] : “I’m in line with holding corporations accountable & lowering costs for Tennesseans. It features Al Gore too. It’s iconic.” #TN7
