Early results in Tennesse voting could cause some angst for Republicans

  • The Democrat is leading but still expected to lose, although narrowly
TN-07 House special election
Van Epps

I highlighted the vote in Tennessee today as a potential market mover for a variety of reasons and it remains a spot to watch.

The Republican favorite Matt Van Epps is trailing 45.7% to 53.1% with about 43% of the votes in. If that's the result it would be a disaster for Republicans in a House seat they won by 21 points in a district Trump won by 22.

But it's not over yet, the votes in so far are from the urban and more-Democratic leaning part of the district. The New York Times model still has Van Epps winning by 3.3 points. Keep an eye on it though as even a narrow Republican win would be damaging for the MAGA agenda.
