Republicans Fret ‘Dangerous’ Result in Tennessee

“Republicans won Tuesday’s special election in Tennessee. But instead of celebrating, many are dreading what it means about the midterms,” Politico reports.

“Republican Rep.-elect Matt Van Epps’ roughly nine point win marks a massive shift toward Democrats from 2024, when President Donald Trump carried the district by 22 points.”

“That double digit swing — on the heels of crushing losses in off-year elections in November — could be a harbinger of what House Republicans will face in the midterms next year, members and strategists warned, as they seek to hold on to their narrow control of the chamber.”
