There’s a special election in Tennessee, and NBC News is plotting special coverage featuring Steve Kornacki on Tuesday night.
Kornacki will provide special election night coverage of the race. But he’ll be alone as the results come in.
In a post on social media, Steve Kornacki shared that he’ll be by his lonesome to provide coverage until a call in the race has been made.
“We’re trying something new and hopefully fun,” Kornacki said. “I’ll be streaming live from the Big Board — no frills, no guests, just results. It’ll go live at 7:45, 15 minutes before polls close, and I’ll stay until we’ve got a result. Hopefully the start of more nights like this!”
The coverage will be featuread across multiple NBC News platforms, including NBCNews.com, the NBC News App, and NBC News’ YouTube channel and Instagram account.
The special election is for Tennessee’s 7th Congressional District. Former Rep. Mark Green (R) resigned the position in July. Matt Van Epps (R) and Aftyn Behn (D) are the nominees. In the Middle Tennessee district, Republicans usually garner 60% of the vote. But the result on Tuesday is expected to be very close. A Democrat has not represented the district since 1982.
