DesJarlais is considered one of the most vulnerable Congressmen, because of revelations in October 2012 that he had prescribed drugs to a patient with whom he was having an affair and had pressured his former wife and former mistress to have several abortions. He was re-elected in 2012 with a reduced majority.[21] Despite these vulnerabilities, in the final days before the August 7 primary DesJarlais seems to have a chance at holding onto his seat, according to Republican operatives who think voters have forgiven his behavior.[22]
