GET ME REWRITE: Major-league clown show shaping up in Tennessee governor's race

 

Headline:  The Downballot,  12/12/2024

The ultra-conservative senator, Axios' Nate Rau writes, is the subject of "buzz" that she might run to succeed the Volunteer State's termed-out governor, Republican Bill Lee, in 2026. Blackburn, though, does not appear to have said anything publicly about her interest in becoming the first woman to lead this dark-red state.\ 

And she may not be the only senator interested in entering the contest. Allie Feinberg of the Knoxville News Sentinel last week wrote that Sen. Bill Hagerty has also "been mentioned" as a possible contender for governor. Hagerty, who is up for reelection to his current job in 2026, also has not publicly addressed his interest in such a career switch.
