Marsha Blackburn sails to victory in Tennessee Senate primary
Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) sailed to victory in her reelection primary, defeating her opponent by over 30,000 votes as of 8:23 p.m.
The Associated Press called the race for Blackburn at 8:08 p.m. Eastern, just eight minutes after the polls closed. The senator received 92.5%of the vote compared to Tres Wittum’s 7.5% at the time the race was called.
Blackburn was favored to win the primary, setting her up for a general election in a seat that is rated solid Republican.
The primary for Blackburn’s Democratic challenger was crowded, with Democratic state Rep. Gloria Johnson winning the contest at 8:13 p.m. Johnson gained national attention as one of the “Tennessee Three” whom state Republicans tried to expel for engaging in a House floor gun control protest. Her colleagues, state Reps. Justin Jones and Justin Pearson, were expelled, while Johnson was saved by a one-vote margin.
The seat is ranked solid Republican, meaning Blackburn is likely to win in November.
