"A special election in Tennessee on Tuesday is set to offer a new test for President Donald Trump. In this seat, Trump has endorsed Matt Van Epps, the Republican candidate, against Democratic state representative Aftyn Behn. Now this seat last year voted for Trump by more than a twenty-point margin, in addition to voting for the former Congressman in this area, Mark Green, by about that same amount."

STORYLINE:
Less than a month after Democrats scored big victories in the Nov. 4 general election, voters in a heavily Republican Tennessee congressional district will fill a vacant seat Tuesday in the closely divided U.S. House.

Republican Matt Van Epps and Democrat Aftyn Behn are the nominees to replace former GOP Rep. Mark Green. The district includes parts of heavily Democratic Nashville, although most of the district has elected only Republicans to Congress for more than a dozen years.

Van Epps is a West Point graduate and former Army helicopter pilot who headed the Tennessee Department of General Services under Republican Gov. Bill Lee. With endorsements from both Trump and Green, he easily won the October special primary against 10 opponents.
