Tennessee GOP sweats close race, safe seat turns nail-biter

Republicans are freaking out about a special House election in Tennessee because their candidate is only ahead by like two points in a district Trump won by over 20. Speaker Mike Johnson flew in and got Trump on speakerphone to tell everyone the whole world is watching this race, which is pretty wild for what should be an easy Republican win.

The GOP is throwing everything at Democrat Aftyn Behn, calling her a far-left radical who would just vote however AOC tells her to. They brought in senators, House members, and the governor to campaign against her support for trans people and her protesting ICE agents. Meanwhile, Behn is focusing on affordability issues and getting help from AOC and Al Gore for a virtual rally, and Democrats are pointing out that Republicans had to spend millions defending a seat that should have been a slam dunk.
