Matt Van Epps was sworn into the House on Dec. 4 after winning the Tennessee 7th District special election by about 54%–45% in a contest marked by heavy outside spending (including large MAGA Inc. buys) and high‑profile surrogates and rallies from both parties. His seating brings Republicans to 220 seats (Democrats 213, with two vacancies); Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene’s planned resignation next month would cut the GOP majority to 219.
