Tennessee Election Results

Tennessee Election Results

Bill Hagerty, a Republican backed by President Trump, won the open Senate seat handily. His Democratic challenger, Marquita Bradshaw, faced an uphill battle — Tennessee has not elected a Democratic senator since Al Gore, 30 years ago. The candidates were competing for the seat being vacated by Senator Lamar Alexander, a Republican, who declined to seek a fourth term. Read more

Mr. Hagerty defeated a crowded field by campaigning almost exclusively on the endorsement of Mr. Trump, who easily carried the state in 2016 and again this year won with a significant lead over Joseph R. Biden Jr.

Ms. Bradshaw, an environmental justice advocate, won an upset victory in the primary against a party-backed candidate who had significantly outraised her. She is the first Black woman to be nominated for the Senate by a major party in Tennessee. — ISABELLA GRULLÓN PAZ Read less
