Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) swore in Rep. Matt Van Epps (R-Tenn.) on Thursday morning, less than two days after Van Epps won an unexpectedly competitive special election to fill a vacant House seat.
Van Epps, an Army veteran, will succeed former Rep. Mark Green (R-Tenn.), who resigned in July for a private sector opportunity. He had previously served as the commissioner for the Tennessee Department of General Services.
He defeated Democratic candidate Aftyn Behn by roughly nine points, a far narrower margin than the 22 points President Trump carried the district by last year.
With Van Epps officially a member of Congress, Republicans now hold a 220-213 majority in the lower chamber. That margin will shrink again next month, when Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) exits Congress on Jan. 5.
Johnson had quickly received backlash from Democrats, who complained that Rep. Adelita Grijalva (D-Ariz.) was sworn in 50 days after she won her special election to fill her late father’s House seat.
