I believe Tennessee is worth fighting for. I have always believed that. And I will never stop believing it. This was one battle for the future of our state. It was not the end of the fight. We have more work to do. More communities to organize. More voices to lift up. More people to bring into this movement. And to every volunteer, every supporter, every person who donated, knocked a door, made a phone call, hosted a gathering, or simply told a friend why this campaign mattered: thank you.

Finishing under 50% of the vote doesn't give her a mandate for her administration. That under performance is not going to be popular with the Republican state legislators.
#Tennessee screwed up again. This state’s hypnotic infatuation with this airheaded fascist is mystifying and infuriating. But I take solace in the fact that #MarshaBlackburn’s win was much narrower than expected. This state is purpling, and even one misstep could tip it blue.

CLARKSVILLE Rep-elect Allie Phillips: “We just flipped this seat! To every Republican who voted for me, a working class mom and union member, over your party — thank you for putting your trust in me. This isn’t about red or blue… I look forward to representing everyone.”

.@MarshaBlackburn won by the skin of her teeth and only because independent David Hatley siphoned votes. She has zero mandate. Tennesseans are sick of those riding Trump's disastrous coattails and want our leaders to fix affordability.
Congratulations to Governor-Elect Marsha Blackburn on her victory. Tennesseans have placed their trust in a conservative leader who understands the importance of fiscal responsibility, keeping communities safe, and creating opportunities for every family to thrive. Conservative leadership has positioned Tennessee to lead the nation as a beacon of opportunity, security, and freedom, and Tennesseans have made clear that they want to see that momentum continue. I look forward to working with Governor-Elect Blackburn in the coming months to ensure a smooth transition and continued prosperity for our state.

🗳️ Tennessee voters approved Amendment 2, adding a ban on state property taxes to the state Constitution. It won’t lower existing county or city property tax bills. Read more: bit.ly/4iybkk2 #Tennessee #Amendment2 #Election2026

The deep red deadlock in the South is broken. Democrats can win at every level in the South. Tonight has proven that and will continue to prove it. Republicans, you bought and paid for this bloodbath by enabling Trump. And now you will be handed historic defeat. #BlueWave

Nobody here saw this coming. Nobody. Hard pressed to find a bigger shock in the country
FLASHBACK: “DesJarlais was going to run unopposed, I said over my dead body — he paid for 3 abortions for his wife and mistresses… you do you, but don’t take our rights away.” Victoria Broderick just appears to have won by 280 votes. Incredible. #TN4

Regardless of outcome, thanks to all of the candidates who put themselves out there, the families who suspended normal life, the staffers and volunteers who’ve been living and breathing the campaign. Y’all make democracy work!
