Federal agents executed a search warrant at Fulton County, Georgia’s main election facility this week and removed hundreds of boxes of 2020-election materials, including ballots and electronic records. The move, conducted with little public explanation and followed by the appearance of Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard at the scene, has intensified concerns among local and Democratic officials that the action could further erode trust in election administration even as Republicans defend it as a lawful investigation.
Republican Matt Van Epps held on to Tennessee’s 7th Congressional District in a special election on December 2, 2025, winning by just under nine points in a district Donald Trump carried by roughly 22 points in 2024. The sharper‑than‑expected swing toward Democrats has stirred concern among Republicans about the 2026 midterms, even as Democrats cast the result as evidence of growing strength in traditionally red territory.

Voters in Tennessee’s 7th Congressional District headed to the polls on December 2, 2025, for a special election between Republican Matt Van Epps and Democrat Aftyn Behn to replace resigned Rep. Mark Green. The race, in a district Donald Trump carried by more than 20 points in 2024, has drawn national attention and millions of dollars in outside interest as polls suggested a competitive contest, with one recent survey showing Van Epps leading by 2 points, within the margin of error.
