Trump-backed Matt Van Epps wins GOP primary in Tennessee House race

Matt Van Epps is projected to win the Republican primary for Tennessee's 7th Congressional District special election, securing an endorsement from President Trump. He will face Democrat Aftyn Behn in December. The GOP hopes to maintain control of the seat, which could slightly expand their House majority. The district, considered safely red, spans 14 counties and includes suburban and rural areas. Van Epps, a military veteran and former state official, is expected to win the general election.
