Republican Matt Van Epps won a Tennessee House special election on Tuesday defeating Democrat Aftyn Behn.
CD07 covers portions of heavily Democrat Nashville, which gave Democrats hope to make a flip of this House seat.
(VIA AP) – […] A military veteran and former state general services commissioner from Nashville, Van Epps defeated Democratic state Rep. Aftyn Behn to represent the 7th Congressional District.
In a victory statement, Van Epps said he will be “all-in” with Trump in Congress.
“Running from Trump is how you lose. Running with Trump is how you win,” he said. “Our victory was powered by a movement of Tennesseans that are ready for change. We are grateful to the President for his unwavering support that charted this movement and catapulted us to victory.
Trump congratulated Van Epps, saying in a social media post: “The Radical Left Democrats threw everything at him, including Millions of Dollars. Another great night for the Republican Party!!!” (more)
Well thank God. But you know she will be back next year running for this seat again. “GOP” needs to get their heads out of their you know where. Unless they actually do want to lose the house, which they probably actually do.
That actually is the RINO play….
Yank the rug out from under the house majority….
This is what makes RINO filth particularly detestable….
They become the linchpin for the left…lapdogs that they are….
I’ve always wondered how we are to fight the Commie horde with scum like that on our side….
My thought is we need to deal with RINO filth first…
Seems we put the cart before the horse….
I hope one day they will get the opportunity to hang with their commie buddies….
But I have my doubts….
The republiCONs do want to lose because they don’t want Trump either. Scumbags.
MAGA!!
That 81,000 people voted for her is a sad commentary on the state of the US population.
I read something last week.
We have 2 year election cycles.
We have 15 second sound bites.
We have 50% of the population that is barely literate.
We wonder why we have problems.
Token, you nailed it. I am constantly saying the same thing & I live in Calif.. Really, how can so many people be so incredibly stupid. Absolutely baffling.
Everyone of us needs to get on the phone and call every office of our congressional rep and let them know we want to see them start passing legislation to enforce Trump’s executive orders. We want no more CR’s but. Balanced budget and CUTS TO ANY AND ALL INTERNATIONAL $$$$. We want them to get on Speaker Johnson and get something done for the citizens of the USA. This is the laziest house of reps and the senate is in a close race for a tie! If they don’t hear from the voters they will just slow walk to stop Trump!
“Running from Trump is how you lose. Running with Trump is how you win,” he said. Couldn’t have said it better.
Missed a bullet
Again
How many more times before the Marxists win everything?
I wouldn’t celebrate anything this era
Maybe hope Jesus raptures believers soon instead?
Organizing politically to help Republicans win is a more concrete strategy than hope for the Rapture.
I don’t think the Rapture is based on US elections. I will be happy whenever it comes!
Van Epps wins by 9% and the democrats call it a “slim margin”
What a joke.
Not a “Great Night” as asserted by DJT. Epps winning by ONLY 8 percentage points does not inspire confidence in this Treeper.
Tennessee dodged a very bad bullet in the Dem candidate. She would have been as bad as Virginia governor-elect Spanberger, former CIA, and now is considered to be a CIA plant in Virginia government.
