00:07In a closely watched special election, Republican Matt Van Epps defeated far-left Democrat Afton Bain in Tennessee's 7th District,

00:15shutting down hopes of turning the deep red seat blue.

00:19With 95% of votes counted, Van Epps secured victory with 53.9% to Bain's 45%, reinforcing Republican strength in the district.

00:28Bain, a self-described radical, ran a campaign that often clashed with Tennessee's traditional values.

00:35She drew criticism for mocking country music, supporting gender transition procedures for minors,

00:40and making controversial public statements following the tragic Covenant school shooting.

00:45Her comments and activism energized progressives but alienated many local voters.

00:50Despite heavy financial backing from National Democrats, including support from Al Gore and Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez,

00:57Bain was unable to overcome the district's conservative base.

01:01She outraised Van Epps, bringing in over $1 million in just weeks.

01:05However, Van Epps benefited from more than $1 million in support from MAGA, Inc.,

01:10along with direct backing from President Donald Trump through rallies and last-minute outreach.

01:15The election followed the resignation of Representative Mark Green,

01:18who had previously carried the district by a 20-point margin.

01:21Democrats believed the special election and lower turnout gave them a rare opportunity,

01:27but Republican organizing proved stronger.

01:30House Speaker Mike Johnson also campaigned for Van Epps,

01:32and the win helped reinforce the GOP's narrow House majority, now at 219 to 213.

01:39The result sends a clear message that national Democratic messaging still struggles to gain traction

01:44in heavily conservative regions.

01:46Van Epps now takes office as the new congressman for Tennessee's 7th District,

01:51marking another high-profile setback for Democratic efforts to flip red state seats through progressive candidates.
