Dec. 2, 2025, 9:21 PM EST / Updated Dec. 2, 2025, 9:35 PM ESTBy Owen Auston-BabcockRepublican Matt Van Epps has won a hotly contested special election for a deep-red congressional seat in Tennessee, NBC News projects, seeing off a Democratic challenge for the longtime GOP district.Though President Donald Trump carried the 7th Congressional District by 22 points in 2024, Republican super PACs poured millions into defending the seat as Van Epps faced off against Aftyn Behn, a Democratic state representative. Democrats spent almost as much trying to capture it, as Trump’s political standing has taken a hit this year and the Democratic Party made gains in November elections in New Jersey, Virginia and other states.Still, this red district remained Republican. Van Epps, an Army veteran and former state official, ran on reliably MAGA themes and promised to continue the legacy of former GOP Rep. Mark Green, who resigned from the seat earlier this year.But Democrats did significantly cut the GOP margin in the district from just a year ago. With about a sixth of the vote remaining, mostly from Republican-leaning areas, Van Epps had a 5-point districtwide lead.While Behn had an advantage among people who voted early, Van Epps prevailed by running up the score in votes cast on Election Day itself — suggesting Republican efforts to ramp up turnout were successful. National party figures flooded into the district and the two candidates engaged in a fiery, expensive ad war as both sides saw a low-turnout, closer-than-usual race developing.Former Vice President Kamala Harris and Democratic National Committee Chair Ken Martin canvassed with Behn, who represents part of Nashville in the state House. Trump held telerallies for Van Epps and took to social media to urge Republican voters to turn out, and House Speaker Mike Johnson joined the GOP nominee in the district on Monday.Johnson and Van Epps seemed cautiously optimistic about their chances in an interview with Fox News at a rally in Franklin, Tennessee.“A special election is an odd thing, anything can happen, so we take no vote for granted,” Johnson said, remarking that turnout is “often stifled” when elections don’t fall on the usual second Tuesday of November.In an interview with NBC News in October, ahead of the primary, Van Epps said he was campaigning on “security, opportunity and prosperity” and touted Green’s work with the Trump administration on border security, saying it “serves as a good way to pick up the ball and run with it.” His campaign has also focused on the cost of living, with ads criticizing career politicians for “reckless spending” and saying costs are “out of control.”Republican groups spent over $3.5 million in ads attacking Behn and trying to make Van Epps’ case, according to AdImpact. MAGA Inc., the primary super PAC aligned with Trump’s political operation, spent over $1.7 million in independent expenditures since jumping into the race in mid-November.The super PACs backing Van Epps worked to make Behn unelectable and convince GOP voters to come out to back the Republican against her.Super PACs backing Van Epps and conservative news outlets have used clips of Behn saying she was “a very radical person” and saying she “hates this city,” referring to Nashville. Trump got into the action, attacking Behn on social media and urging Republicans to go to the polls.Democrats hit back in TV, radio and online ads, with House Democrats’ main super PAC spending more than $800,000 and Behn’s campaign spending over $1 million.Behn and Democratic groups supporting her campaign attacked Van Epps in ads for saying he would not have voted for the bill to release files related to the investigation into Jeffrey Epstein, the late financier and convicted sex offender. Trump signed the bill into law on Nov. 21 after doing an about-face on the legislative push.Van Epps, a colonel in the Tennessee Army National Guard, plans to keep his commission while in Congress. He told NBC News in October that he’ll serve where he’s needed by House Republicans but said he’d like to join the House Armed Services Committee, given his background in the military.Owen Auston-BabcockOwen Auston-Babcock is an intern at NBC News.Bridget Bowman contributed.

Oct. 20, 2025, 5:27 AM EDTBy Rohan NadkarniEntering Sunday, NFL teams had won 1,602 consecutive games when they were leading by 18 points in the final six minutes of a game.On Sunday, that streak was broken.The New York Giants had a historic collapse against the Denver Broncos, losing 33-32 in what was the wildest game of the NFL season so far.With rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart under center, the Giants appeared to be turning their season around, taking a 19-0 lead into the fourth quarter against the Broncos and their stingy defense. New York was stuck on 19 because of a missed extra point and a failed 2-point conversion, both of were factors in the roller-coaster final frame. The Broncos’ comeback began early in the fourth, when a tipped pass in the end zone fell into the hands of Troy Franklin for a touchdown. Denver completed a 2-point conversion to cut the lead to 19-8. Not to be outdone, the Giants followed up with a tip-drill touchdown of their own, as Theo Johnson caught a deflected pass on third-and-17 and ran with it for a 41-yard score on the ensuing possession.Johnson’s score spiked New York’s win probability. On the Broncos’ next drive, they faced third-and-12 from their own 47 with 7 minutes and 12 seconds to go. At that moment, the Giants’ win probability was 99.8%, according to ESPN. But a 9-yard pass and a defensive pass interference penalty on the next two plays gave Denver new life. Quarterback Bo Nix would lead the team down the field for another score, running for a touchdown with 5 minutes and 13 seconds to go. Denver converted another 2-pointer to make the score 26-16.On the Giants’ next drive, Dart made a backbreaking mistake.On third-and-5, he was picked off by Justin Strnad, who ran the ball back 21 yards to set up Denver’s offense inside the red zone.Four plays later, Nix threw another touchdown pass to cut the lead to 26-23.New York couldn’t answer the score, punting after only three plays and taking only a minute and 9 seconds off the clock in the process.Six plays. Sixty-eight yards and 51 seconds later, the Broncos had their first lead of the game. Nix completed a 31-yard pass on third-and-11 to keep the scoring drive alive, then ran for a touchdown three plays later to put Denver ahead.But the drama was far from finished.With 1 minute and 8 seconds to go, the Giants were staring down a fourth-and-19 from their own 26-yard line and the game on the line. Dart scrambled and found Wan’Dale Robinson for first down, with a roughing-the-passer penalty giving New York another 15 yards.After a pass interference penalty moved the Giants all the way to the 1-yard line, Dart called his own number for a score. Crucially, however, New York kicker Jude McAtamney missed his second extra point of the game, which meant the Giants led by only 2, 32-30, with 37 seconds to go. Still, with no timeouts left, the Broncos faced an uphill climb to get in position for another score.But their next drive started fortuitously, when Nix seemingly overthrew a receiver only for the ball to fall into the hands of an awaiting Marvin Mims for a 29-yard gain. As Denver lined up to spike the ball after the completion, a New York defender couldn’t get onside in time, giving the Broncos 5 more yards.After the penalty, Nix found Courtland Sutton for 22 yards, putting Denver firmly in field-goal range. The Broncos spiked the ball with 3 seconds left, bringing on Will Lutz for a 39-yard kick.The field goal easily sailed through the uprights, and Denver’s shocking comeback was complete.The Broncos’ 33 points in the fourth quarter were the most in NFL history by a team that had been shut out during the first three quarters, per ESPN. Denver went from having a 0.2% chance of winning to improving to 5-2, remaining in first place in the AFC West.The Giants, meanwhile, were robbed of winning two straight games for the first time this season. And instead of being 3-4 and potentially in the playoff hunt, New York exited Sunday tied for the second fewest wins in the NFC. Rohan NadkarniRohan Nadkarni is a sports reporter for NBC News.
