The most prominent election held “yesterday” appears to have been a special U.S. House election in Tennessee’s 7th Congressional District, which was won by Republican Matt Van Epps.
What election this refers to
“Election yesterday” is ambiguous because different countries, states, or localities may have held contests on that date. However, major international and U.S. political coverage on that day focused on the Tennessee special congressional election.
Winner and basic context
Matt Van Epps, a Republican aligned with President Donald Trump, won the Tennessee 7th District special election, keeping the seat in Republican hands. The district is historically strongly Republican, but the margin was narrower than Trump’s 22‑point win there in the 2024 presidential election, which both parties are treating as politically significant.
If you had a different country, state, or local election in mind, say which one (for example, “governor of X,” “city council in Y,” or “country Z’s general election”), and the specific place can be checked more precisely.
