TN-07: GOP Gets 'Structural Warning' About Tennessee Special Election--Analysis
The Tennessee special election set for Tuesday becoming competitive is a "structural warning" for Republicans, according to an Impact Social analysis shared with Newsweek on Monday....
It has become so close due to the waning popularity of the president, according to the Impact Social report, which analyzed the social media discussion of Trump in Tennessee. It found that 26 percent of the discussion about Trump was positive, while 27 percent was negative. Forty-seven percent of posts were deemed neutral, such as simply sharing a news article.
"In a district where the former president should dominate online conversation, an even split reflects a meaningful shift: voters are no longer responding along predictable partisan lines," the report reads.
It pointed to frustrations over the administration’s handling of the Epstein files and the economy as reasons some conservatives are disengaged. Trump’s presence "overwhelms every race, every message and every candidate," the analysis found. He can help carry Republicans across the finish line when his popularity is strong—but when he is weak, the inverse is true.
