What TN-07 could mean in Georgia, Pete's penchant & Trump's baby bump

Might this be the last of the special elections in Georgia this year? No, there's another on the 9th (ranked choice would eliminate this silliness).

Still, a tight Tennessee Congressional special election could signal shifting political winds. Nick Alex, a Democrat running in Georgia’s gerrymandered 9th District, joined the show today. What happens in Tennessee today could be a bellwether for his campaign, centered on affordability, rural health care, and persuading voters who feel left behind by their own party.

Then there are the mounting concerns around Pete Hegseth seemingly finding war crimes without a war. Allegations of an unlawful second strike on a drug boat — a story with a Georgia twist: did Admiral Alvin Holsey, a Morehouse grad and Georgia native, resign because of this strike? The alignment is uncanny. Bipartisan sharks are circling, Pete.

At today's Cabinet knob-slob, VP JD Vance went off on the Biden presidency - granted rent-free space in this administration's head, apparently, on affordability issues that pre-date Biden, like housing costs (hint: it isn't undocumented immigrants, couch canoodler) to "green new deal" investment hurting agri-business (because climate change hasn't?).

The Cato Institute's Adam Michel - Director of Tax Policy Studies - joined to parse out who really wins with Trump’s new “baby accounts,” and CBS News’ Michael Wallace gave seniors a last-minute reminder as Medicare enrollment nears its deadline.
