This week’s surprisingly close special election in Tennessee is the latest sign the Republican majority in Congress is on “borrowed time” and has less than a year to accomplish its legislative goals, the Wall Street Journal’s editorial board warned.
Matt Van Epps, 42, a Trump-endorsed Army veteran and former state commissioner, defeated Democratic state Rep. Aftyn Behn, 36, by just 9 percentage points in Tuesday’s race for Tennessee’s 7th Congressional District, according to the Associated Press.
President Donald Trump swept the district by 22 points in 2024, and Van Epps’ predecessor won by 21 points, meaning Behn overperformed by double digits.
