The Associated Press projected that Sen. Marsha Blackburn won Tennessee’s Republican gubernatorial primary, defeating Rep. John Rose and state Rep. Monty Fritts. Blackburn will face Democratic nominee Jerri Green in the November general election.
The Associated Press called the Republican primary for Blackburn at 8:31 p.m. CDT Thursday. The article says she centered her campaign on economic growth, border security, law enforcement, opposing illegal immigration, protecting women’s sports and advancing President Donald Trump’s agenda.
Blackburn will face Jerri Green, who won the Democratic primary. The race is Tennessee’s first open gubernatorial contest since 2018; Gov. Bill Lee is term-limited and cannot seek a third consecutive term.
