Voters in central Tennessee will choose a new member of Congress on Tuesday. The special election fills the U.S. House seat for Tennessee's 7th Congressional District.
The contest between Republican Mark Green and Democrat Justin Jones is remarkably close, according to recent polls. This outcome is unexpected in a district that typically supports Republican candidates.
Political analysts suggest the race may serve as a referendum on President Donald Trump. The results could signal voter sentiment ahead of the national elections in November.
The winner will complete the term of former Representative Marsha Blackburn, who vacated the seat after being elected to the U.S. Senate.
