Blackburn secures GOP nomination for Tennessee governor.

Event Overview

Senator Marsha Blackburn won the Republican primary for Governor of Tennessee, defeating Representative John Rose and State Representative Monty Fritts. The race was triggered by term limits preventing incumbent Governor Bill Lee from seeking reelection. Blackburn will face Democratic nominee Jerri Green in the general election. While both main candidates sought alignment with Donald Trump, he did not officially endorse a candidate in the race.
