Sure. It was an off year special election which affects things and probably other factors of which I am unaware.
Here are results from previous elections. The dems made some headway there.
Mark Green
2018 % vote 66.9% margin 34.8 points
2020 % vote 69.9% margin 42.6
2022 % vote 60.0% margin 21.9
2024 % vote 59.5% margin 21.5
Matt van Epps
2025 % vote 53.9% margin 9
You forgot to mention the district was redrawn after the 2020 census to make it considerably less red, while helping Republicans in other districts. 2022 was the first election following the redistricting.
Yes, the margin, while good enough, shows a troubling trend, especially with such a bad democRAT opponent. On another thread people are calling me a commie, RINO, thumb sucker for being concerned about what this means for 2026.
