Incumbent Rep. David Kustoff (R) enters the 2026 TN-08 House race unopposed in the Republican primary after the March 10 filing deadline, facing a weak Democratic field of Dewey Bryan and Leonard Perkins, plus independents Pamela Moses and Horace Taylor. Rated Solid Republican by Cook Political Report, Inside Elections, and Sabato's Crystal Ball, the district's post-redistricting GOP lean—bolstered by Kustoff's prior comfortable wins—drives trader consensus implying 92.5% odds of a Republican hold. Primaries are August 6, with the general election November 3. Upsets could stem from a Kustoff scandal, health issue, unexpectedly strong Democratic nominee, or national midterm wave favoring Democrats.
