The Republican senator and vocal abortion foe supported Trump’s baseless claims of fraud during the 2020 election
Republican senator Marsha Blackburn announced Wednesday she will run for governor of Tennessee.
A staunch ally of Donald Trump who represents a state he carried by nearly 30 percentage points, Blackburn would become the first female governor in Tennessee’s history if she wins next year. The vocal abortion foe supported Trump’s baseless claims of fraud during the 2020 election, and was considered one of the most conservative members of the House of Representatives during 16 years representing a district in middle Tennessee.
