Tennessee Special Election Tests Trump's Influence | JQJO

Tennessee's 7th Congressional District is holding a special election, featuring crowded primaries for both Republicans and Democrats. The race, necessitated by a Republican congressman's departure, serves as a potential gauge for Donald Trump's influence among suburban GOP voters. On the Republican side, candidates like Matt Van Epps, Jody Barrett, and Gino Bulso are vying for the nomination, with Van Epps securing a late Trump endorsement. Democrats, meanwhile, are campaigning on opposition to Republican tax cuts and Trump's policies, hoping to capitalize on district demographics.
