Incumbent Republican David Kustoff's unopposed position in the August 6 primary, confirmed after the March 10 filing deadline, anchors trader consensus at 92.5% for a GOP hold in Tennessee's 8th District, a solidly Republican seat where he won 72% in the last general election. Weak Democratic primary contenders Dewey Bryan and Leonard Perkins lack fundraising or name recognition to mount a credible challenge, aligning with Safe Republican ratings from Cook Political Report, Inside Elections, and Sabato's Crystal Ball. No recent polling exists, but the district's partisan lean and incumbency advantage drive the lopsided odds. Late scandals, health issues, or a massive national Democratic midterm wave could shift dynamics ahead of the November 3 general election.
