Well, I thought she'd win.

Glad I was wrong.

Looks like he's gonna beat her by 7-8 points....A very good gop night in a special election.

Special elections have historically low turnouts. I'm just glad it appears sanity has prevailed.

.

Hate drives votes and the left HATES Trump, just look around this board. That can make special elections like these close.

It’s not, actually, but that’s definitely the response I will expect from the low human capital on this site.

Move away from the mirror

Another good thing about the margin of victory (looks close to 9 points now) is that it will keep the "AOC of TN" from running against Van Epps as an incumbent in the midterms as her margins would be even less since more people will vote.

Nashville has become the GDF San Francisco of the South....

Bull shit! Nashville is where everyone is moving to from the blue shithole's up north. Most of your Hollyweird conservatives now live there or nearby. The city is nice, clean and architecturally brand new. I live an hour away and I was there last Friday night for the Grand Ole Opry's 100th Anniversary. A ticket to see those acts anywhere else would be close to $500 each. I paid $25 for parking and got my tickets for $16. Both the VA and Vanderbilt hospitals are located on the Vanderbilt campus and if you get sick, you better hope your doctor attended medical school there. Mine did! My surgeon attended Harvard's medical school, but he works for Vanderbilt. We have a horrible NFL team and a decent NHL hockey team. We are building a new indoor stadium that can host concerts as well. maybe you should visit sometime. It's expensive for parking, but it's worth it!

That just proves we have over 46000 morons in this district!

I cannot fathom how anyone could vote for that liberal POS!

Nashville is a blue city, politically.

She won Nshville proper.

25% black population.

 

[JackOfNoTrades]

Yeah, I’m guessing the urban/suburban areas reported first and now you’re seeing the rural votes come in

Yep. The same people who just keep voting against their own interests because they can't bring themselves to look down at the ballot and put a check next to anything with a "D" next to it.
^Shrug^....Stupid is..as stupid does.

Welp, that was a million bucks of borrowed money the dems spent to be defeated by 9 points.

Yeah, I know. Except the 7th district splits Nashville with the 5th district. There aren't enough Democrats outside Nashville for her to win.

Doesn't bode well for 2026 on the red side of the aisle.
This was a less than stellar outcome in a solidly red district.

Gerrymandering at its finest.

What a difference an 11th hour endorsement by Trump makes. He still has the Midas touch.

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

Too bad that Trump did a video rally for his last night!

That's one thing that made the election a concern to begin with.

What 11th hour? Trump endorsed him when he won the primary last month.

Not really, liberals and the media went all in and failed. They don't have the resources to do that across the board. Too much can happen between now and midterms. A few cases before the Supreme Court might be more of a factor than anything else. Birthright citizenship and Humphreys Executor are the big cases to watch.

He won by 5 times what the polls said he would.

I see that now, thanks.

Trump makes 11th-hour plea for Matt Van Epps over Aftyn Behn, whom he claims 'hates Christianity'
