Trump-backed Van Epps and Democrat Behn win Tennessee US House primaries

Matt Van Epps, endorsed by Donald Trump, and Democratic Rep. Aftyn Behn won their respective primaries Tuesday. They will compete in a December special election for a vacant U.S. House seat in Tennessee's 7th Congressional District. Van Epps, a former governor's administration official, credits Trump's endorsement for his win. Behn, a social worker, highlighted her victory as a triumph for grassroots organizing. The election could serve as a gauge for Trump's agenda's appeal, particularly in suburban areas of the safely Republican-drawn district.
