Nate Van Epps, a Trump-endorsed Republican and military veteran, will face Democrat Aftyn Behn in the December 2 special election for Tennessee's District 7 U.S. House seat, a race seen as a key political indicator and closely watched for potential party shifts.
Former Tennessee commissioner Matt Van Epps won the Republican primary for Tennessee's 7th congressional district with support from Trump, and will face Democratic state Rep. Aftyn Behn in the December general election, in a district considered reliably Republican but with potential for a Democratic flip.
Trump-backed Van Epps won the Tennessee primary for a special House seat, setting the stage for a December 2nd general election that could reflect support for Trump's agenda, while Democrat Behn secured her primary victory, emphasizing reproductive health rights.
