Republican Matt Van Epps Wins Tennessee 7th District Special Election 53.9% to 45.1%

Republican Matt Van Epps defeated Democrat Aftyn Behn 53.9% to 45.1% in Tennessee's 7th Congressional District special election on December 2, 2025. The roughly 9-point margin was far narrower than Trump's 22-point and Mark Green's 21-point margins in 2024, signaling Democratic overperformance in a reliably red district. Conservative PACs spent over $1.7 million targeting Behn. Speaker Johnson campaigned with Van Epps; Behn was endorsed by Ocasio-Cortez and Kamala Harris.
