Trump-backed Republican narrowly wins in Tennessee, raising concerns for midterm election prospects
ChainCatcher News, Republicans avoided an upset loss in the U.S. House election held Tuesday in Tennessee, bringing relief to Trump and his congressional allies. According to projections by the Associated Press, NBC News, and election analysis site Decision Desk HQ, Trump-backed Republican candidate Matt Van Epps is expected to win. Trump praised the Republican victory in a social media post, and Epps also declared victory. However, despite the win, voters in a district where Trump won overwhelmingly just a year ago are gradually distancing themselves from the Republican Party. This is the latest data point indicating a worrying outlook for Republicans in next year's midterm elections.
In a series of elections this year, Democrats have outperformed their voting advantage in the 2024 presidential election. Just a few weeks ago, the party achieved political victories and swept the ballots in New York City, New Jersey, and Virginia, and also won a redistricting referendum in California aimed at weakening the Republican advantage in Congress.
