Republican backed by Trump narrowly wins in Tennessee, casting doubts on midterm election prospects
BlockBeats news, on December 3, 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 predictions by the Associated Press, NBC News, and election analysis website Decision Desk HQ, Trump-endorsed 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, even with the win, in a district where Trump won by a landslide just a year ago, voters are gradually distancing themselves from the Republican Party. This is the latest data point indicating that Republicans face a challenging outlook in next year’s midterm elections. In a series of elections this year, Democrats have outperformed their vote advantage for the 2024 presidential election. Just a few weeks ago, the party achieved victories in New York City, New Jersey, and Virginia.
