Democrats are going all in on a Tennessee special election next month, teeing up one last test of their electoral strength ahead of 2026 after enjoying a string of victories in November.

Former Vice President Kamala Harris and Democratic National Committee Chair Ken Martin in recent weeks have campaigned for Democrat Aftyn Behn, a state representative running against Republican Matt Van Epps for former Rep. Mark Green’s seat (R) in Tennessee’s 7th Congressional District. Several outside Democratic groups have poured money into the race, too.

Van Epps, a former Tennessee Department of General Services commissioner, is endorsed by President Trump. The president hosted a tele-rally for the Republican candidate earlier this month, while several outside GOP groups, including the pro-Trump MAGA Inc, are spending in the race, too.

While Democrats acknowledge the odds they’re up against to flip the seat in the deep-red district, the party believes even a 10-point loss would be seen as a victory.

FULL story at link above.

If we win on December 2nd with Aftyn, Republicans lose a House seat.
