Incumbent Republican David Kustoff holds a commanding lead in the TN-08 House race, reflecting the district’s consistent R+10 partisan lean, his unopposed primary win, and repeated strong general-election margins in prior cycles. Multiple nonpartisan forecasters rate the seat Safe or Solid Republican ahead of the November 3, 2026 general election. Democrat Heidi Kuhn, who defeated several primary opponents in August, faces structural headwinds in a district that has delivered 68–70% support for Republican presidential candidates in recent elections. Multiple independent candidates also appear on the ballot but are not expected to alter the outcome. Late developments such as a major scandal, health event affecting the incumbent, or an unforeseen national political shift could theoretically narrow the gap, though current conditions show no such catalysts.
