Right now, the most recent high‑profile race in Tennessee with a clear, completed result is the special election for the state’s 7th Congressional District, and Republican Matt Van Epps is the winner of that contest. If you were asking about a live, ongoing race “right now,” up‑to‑the‑minute vote counts are not directly available here, so only finalized results can be reported.

Recent Tennessee winner

  • Matt Van Epps, a Republican and Army veteran, won the special election for Tennessee’s 7th Congressional District to replace former Rep. Mark Green.
  • He defeated Democratic state representative Aftyn Behn in what is normally a safely Republican, Middle Tennessee seat.

Margin and significance

  • Van Epps’s win came by a single‑digit margin in a district that Donald Trump had previously carried by more than 20 points, which analysts viewed as a warning sign for Republicans heading into the 2026 midterms.
  • The result allowed Republicans to maintain control of the seat and helped preserve their narrow majority in the U.S. House.

If you meant another race

  • Tennessee often has multiple races (presidential, Senate, governor, local) where “who is winning” can change by the hour on election night.
  • For any specific, currently in‑progress contest (for example, “who is winning the 2026 Tennessee governor’s race”), checking a live elections dashboard from a major outlet or the Tennessee Secretary of State’s site will give the most accurate, real‑time answer.
