Democrats Eye Trump Country for Special Election Surprise

“Democrats’ sweeping victories last week have the party eyeing gains in even Trumpier territory, where voters in a deep-red Tennessee House seat will soon pick their next member of Congress in a special election,” Politico reports.

“Early voting started Wednesday in Tennessee’s 7th District, a geographically expansive seat that reaches the state’s borders with Kentucky and Alabama and includes swaths of Nashville, to replace retired Rep. Mark Green (R-TN). And Democrats are projecting some optimism in a district President Trump carried by more than 20 points last November.”
