Media bias in not covering GOP successes highlighted by Joe Concha. Both parties react to GOP win in Tennessee special election.
Left (11)

Washington Examiner columnist Joe Concha criticized the media for not highlighting the successes of the Republican Party, pointing to the recent special election in Tennessee's 7th Congressional District. Democratic state Rep. Aftyn Behn's loss to Republican candidate Matt Van Epps was seen as a rejection of her activism by voters. While Republicans celebrated the win, Democrats noted the narrower margin compared to previous elections. The results of the Tennessee special election have sparked discussions about the 2022 midterms, with Republicans maintaining a House seat despite strong Democratic efforts. Van Epps' victory, though, was significantly narrower than previous Republican wins in the district, indicating a shift in voter sentiment against the GOP.
