Republican Matt Van Epps is the projected winner of the closely watched special election for Tennessee's U.S. House seat for the 7th congressional district, according to the Associated Press, averting a Democratic upset in a closer-than-expected race.

With 99% of the vote counted, Van Epps led Democratic candidate Aftyn Behn by about 9 percentage points -- 53.9% to 45% -- according to the AP. President Donald Trump won the district by 22 points in the 2024 election.
