田纳西州的投票已经结束，保守派激进派参议员玛莎·布莱克本有望将自己的工作地点从华盛顿特区迁至纳什维尔。
这位前长期任职的国会女议员、连任两届的参议员凭借定期亮相有线电视新闻节目在全国拥有广泛知名度，被认为是周四共和党州长初选中的领跑者，该选举旨在接替任期受限的共和党州长比尔·李。
在这个民主党已经二十年未赢得州长选举的红州东南部州举行州和联邦公职提名竞选之际，田纳西州州长职位的共和党对决成为重头戏。

布莱克本的竞选对手包括连任四届的众议员约翰·罗斯——和布莱克本一样，他是唐纳德·特朗普总统在国会山的坚定支持者——以及州议员蒙蒂·弗里茨。
尽管特朗普在本届选举周期的其他共和党州长初选中进行了背书，但他在田纳西州的竞选中保持中立。
“遗憾的是，她要竞选州长了。她要竞选田纳西州州长。我真不希望她这么做，我曾恳求她，”特朗普在1月份说道。“我说：‘玛莎，别这么做。我们不想失去你这位参议员。’”
但这位总统也曾表示，布莱克本会是一位优秀的州长，还指出罗斯一直是他的坚定忠实支持者。
尽管没有获得特朗普的背书，布莱克本还是展现了对他的支持。
“随着特朗普总统将权力和职权下放给各州，我已经准备好为‘志愿之州’田纳西州的民众履职，让我们的州成为美国保守派的领导者，”她在初选前的社交媒体帖子中写道，该帖子附带了她和特朗普的合影。
包括孟菲斯市议员杰里·格林在内的五名民主党人正在角逐本党州长提名。

田纳西州另一位共和党参议员比尔·哈格蒂正在寻求连任六年的参议院第二个任期，他在共和党初选中无人挑战。
五名民主党人正在角逐在大选中挑战哈格蒂的机会。1990年时任参议员阿尔·戈尔连任，是民主党最近一次在田纳西州参议院选举中获胜。
在众议院竞选中，孟菲斯选民将根据共和党重新绘制的国会选区地图投票选出本党提名候选人，该新地图新增了一个倾向共和党的席位，并迫使长期任职的民主党众议员史蒂夫·科恩放弃连任。

Blackburn blasts Democrats’ war powers push, condemns Michigan candidate
Sen. Marsha Blackburn, R-Tenn., analyzes the Democratic strategy to limit President Donald Trump’s war powers regarding Iran, calling it a ‘delay tactic.’ She emphasizes confronting Iran’s nuclear ambitions and its role in funding terrorist groups like Hamas. Blackburn also criticizes a Michigan Senate candidate for his anti-Israel comments.

The polls have closed in Tennessee as conservative firebrand Sen. Marsha Blackburn aims to change her work address from Washington D.C., to Nashville.
The former longtime congresswoman and two-term senator with a robust national profile thanks to her regular cable news appearances is considered the front-runner in Thursday’s Republican gubernatorial primary, in the race to succeed term-limited GOP Gov. Bill Lee.
The Republican face-off for governor of Tennessee, where Democrats haven’t won a gubernatorial election in two decades, takes top billing as the red-leaning southeastern state holds nominating contests for state and federal offices.

Blackburn is running in a race that also includes four-term Rep. John Rose, who like Blackburn is a staunch Capitol Hill supporter of President Donald Trump, and state Rep. Monty Fritts.
Even though the president handed out endorsements in other GOP gubernatorial primaries this cycle, Trump remained neutral in the Tennessee contest.
“Unfortunately, she’s running for governor. She’s running for governor of Tennessee. I’d love her not to, I begged her,” Trump said in January. “‘I said, ‘Marsha, don’t. We don’t want to lose you in the Senate.’”
But the president has said Blackburn would be a good governor, and also noted that Rose has been a staunch loyalist.
Even though she didn’t land Trump’s endorsement, Blackburn has showcased her support for him.
“As President Trump sends power and authority back to the states, I’m ready to deliver for the people of the Volunteer State and make our state America’s conservative leader,” she wrote on the eve of the primary in a social media post that included a photo of her and Trump.
Five Democrats, including Memphis City Councilwoman Jerri Green, are bidding for their party’s gubernatorial nomination.

Tennessee’s other U.S. senator, Republican Bill Hagerty, is unopposed in the GOP primary as he seeks a second six-year term in the Senate.
Five Democrats are vying to challenge Hagerty in the general election. Then-Sen. Al Gore’s re-election 36 years ago was the last time a Democrat won a Senate contest in Tennessee.
In U.S. House battles, Memphis voters will cast ballots for their Democratic and Republican nominees using a new GOP-drawn congressional district map that created an extra right-leaning seat and forced longtime Democratic Rep. Steve Cohen to not seek re-election.

Meanwhile, two-term Republican Rep. Andy Ogles, a major Trump ally in the House who is backed by the president, is facing a stiff primary challenge from Tennessee Agriculture Commissioner Charlie Hatcher, who was endorsed earlier this week by Lee. The race has seen a large infusion of money from outside groups.
