Senate-elect Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) defeated popular Democrat and former Tennessee Governor Phile Bredesen to replace the retiring Bob Corker (R-TN). This comes despite a much-publicized but virtually irrelevant endorsement from Tennessee’s favorite homegrown pop star, Taylor Swift.
Polls showed the race to be close for months until the Brett Kavanaugh confirmation debacle propelled Blackburn to a comfortable lead. That lead dissolved in the final two weeks of the campaign… at least in the polls. Final numbers are still pending but the race was called much more quickly than most imagined.
Blackburn made a mark in the House of Representatives attacking net neutrality and being one of the staunchest pro-life voices in a caucus that has traditionally been very pro-life.
Bredesen tried a couple of hailmaries late in the game by claiming he would have voted to confirm Kavanaugh and criticizing Democrats for how they handled the whole situation.
Blackburn’s is the first contested race in the Senate to come in. He victory bodes well for Republicans keeping or even expanding their majority.
They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We have a Giving Fuel page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
