Wyatt’s Take

  • GOP candidate Matt Van Epps secured Tennessee’s 7th Congressional District seat with strong backing from Trump.
  • Democrats mounted a heavy campaign, but their progressive platform clashed with conservative voters.
  • The close margin shows that heartland conservatives can’t afford complacency in local races.

Matt Van Epps, a Republican and Army veteran, beat Democrat Aftyn Behn in Tennessee’s 7th District, keeping the seat red despite heavy spending by the left.

With 99% of votes counted, Van Epps held a commanding lead, showing the district’s solid support for traditional values and Trump’s agenda.

Democrats called the slim margin a sign of hope, but the district still preferred Van Epps by nearly 9 points.

Party operatives and big-name Democratic figures poured money and manpower into the race, trying to claim momentum in a state Trump carried big.

Behn tried to focus on cost-of-living issues, but her support for open borders, anti-police rhetoric, and attacks against Christian and Southern culture put her out of step with voters here.

Her record, including public stunts against law enforcement and harsh words about the community, drew strong criticism.

Some conservatives worry the GOP coasted too long, nearly letting complacency cost them the seat, despite Trump’s push in the final days and a late surge in Republican turnout.

This election proves conservatives can’t take any district for granted and need to show up, organize, and defend their values at every level. Stay plugged in and ready—Middle America depends on your voice at the ballot box.
