据美联社预测,参议员玛莎·布莱克本于周四赢得田纳西州州长共和党初选,击败了众议员约翰·罗斯。
鉴于田纳西州强烈的共和党倾向,布莱克本被视为11月大选的热门候选人,将对阵民主党候选人杰里·格林。
民主党自2006年以来从未在田纳西州赢得过全州性选举。现任共和党州长比尔·李因任期限制无法寻求连任。
据美联社汇总的计票结果,在约三分之二的选票已清点的情况下,布莱克本以43.8%对32.6%领先罗斯。罗斯在其所在的中田纳西州众议院选区的表现优于布莱克本。
罗斯是去年首个宣布参选初选的候选人,随后是布莱克本,接着是州众议员蒙蒂·弗里茨。布莱克本在竞选初期势头强劲,不过临近初选日的唯一一份独立民调显示双方差距更为接近。
罗斯为竞选投入了1300万美元个人资金,其中包括最近几周的450万美元。布莱克本总共筹集了1080万美元竞选资金。
三名候选人都试图将自己塑造成此次初选中最保守的候选人。尽管特朗普总统未在此次竞选中背书,但布莱克本在其竞选宣传视频中大量提及了特朗普。
不过罗斯和弗里茨试图指责布莱克本与特朗普的立场不够一致,指出她曾表示自己投票认证了2020年选举结果。罗斯还宣扬自己在众议院对特朗普的《拯救美国法案》的支持,尽管布莱克本称她支持该法案,但该法案始终未被提交至参议院进行辩论。
Sen. Marsha Blackburn wins Republican primary for Tennessee governor

Sen. Marsha Blackburn won the Republican primary for Tennessee governor on Thursday, The Associated Press projects, defeating Rep. John Rose.
Given Tennessee’s heavy Republican lean, Blackburn is considered the favorite in the November election against Democratic nominee Jerri Green.
Democrats have not won a statewide race in Tennessee since 2006. Incumbent GOP Gov. Bill Lee is prevented from running for reelection due to term limits.
With about two-thirds of ballots counted, Blackburn led Rose 43.8% to 32.6%, with Rose outperforming Blackburn around his Middle Tennessee House district,according to results compiled by the AP.
Rose was the first candidate to jump into the primary race last year, followed by Blackburn and then state Rep. Monty Fritts. Blackburn had early momentum in the race, although the single independent poll closer to primary day showed a closer race.
Rose pumped $13 million of his own money into the race, including $4.5 million in the last few weeks. Blackburn raised a total of $10.8 million.
All three candidates tried to paint themselves as the most conservative candidate in the race. Although President Trump did not endorse in this race, Blackburn had featured him heavily in her announcement video.
But Rose and Fritts attempted to cast Blackburn as not sufficiently aligned with Mr. Trump, noting that she said she voted to certify the 2020 election results. Rose also touted his support in the House for Mr. Trump’s SAVE America Act, which has not been brought to the Senate floor for debate, although Blackburn has said she supports it.
