Tennessee’s Republican Senator Marsha Blackburn, who secured a significant reelection victory by nearly 30 points in November, is reportedly contemplating a bid for the governorship of Tennessee. Sources from both Washington, D.C., and Tennessee have indicated to Axios that Blackburn has been actively discussing her potential candidacy for the 2026 gubernatorial race, aiming to succeed the term-limited Governor Bill Lee.
Blackburn, who has served in various capacities including as a state legislator and U.S. congresswoman, has garnered public support from notable conservative figures in Tennessee. Daily Wire CEO Jeremy Boreing and commentator Clay Travis have both expressed their enthusiasm for Blackburn’s potential candidacy. Boreing took to X to state, “I am an enormous fan of my governor Bill Lee. I am also an enormous fan of my senator Marsha Blackburn,” suggesting his support extends to her potential future as governor. Similarly, Travis commented, “She’s been a fabulous senator and Marsha Blackburn will make a great Tennessee governor too.”
In her previous Senate races, Blackburn has demonstrated strong voter support. She first defeated former Democratic Governor Phil Bredesen in 2018 with 54.7% of the vote against his 43.9%. Her 2024 victory was even more pronounced, securing 63.8% against Democratic challenger Gloria Johnson’s 34.2%. On her election night, Blackburn remarked, “This victory tonight really does belong to the people of Tennessee because they’re the ones we’ve listened to, they’re the ones that have shown up at meetings all across this state in each of our 95 counties, and the people of Tennessee have spoken.”
This potential shift from the Senate to the governor’s office would mark a significant transition for Blackburn, who has been a key figure in Tennessee’s political landscape. Her considerations come at a time when political alignment in Tennessee leans solidly Republican, suggesting that the GOP primary could largely determine the state’s next governor.
According to Daily Wire:
Tennessee’s Republican Senator Marsha Blackburn, who was just reelected by nearly 30 points in November, is considering a run for Tennessee governor.
Citing sources in Washington, D.C., and Tennessee, Axios reports that Blackburn was making calls saying she was likely to enter the 2026 gubernatorial race to replace term-limited Governor Bill Lee. Blackburn, a conservative senator and strong ally of President-elect Donald Trump, has been in the Senate since 2019.
Neither Blackburn nor her campaign has publicly confirmed that she will enter the race, but some Republicans have already come out to announce their support for her.
“Senator Blackburn has done an outstanding job as a state senator, U.S. congresswoman, and U.S. Senator,” said Glenn Jacobs, the former WWE wrestler-turned-politician, posted on X. “She would do an equally outstanding job as Governor and would have my full support if that’s what she decides.”
His name had been floated in Republican circles in the state as another potential gubernatorial candidate, but his endorsement of Blackburn signals that he wouldn’t enter the race should Blackburn declare.
Controlling Protein Is One of the Globalists’ Primary Goals
Between the globalists, corporate interests, and our own government, the food supply is being targeted from multiple angles. It isn’t just silly regulations and misguided subsidies driving natural foods away. Bird flu, sabotaged food processing plants, mysterious deaths of entire cattle herds, arson attacks, and an incessant push to make climate change the primary consideration for all things are combining for a perfect storm to exacerbate the ongoing food crisis.
The primary target is protein. Specifically, they’re going after beef as the environmental boogeyman. They want us eating vegetable-based proteins, lab-grown meat, or even bugs instead of anything that walked the pastures of America. This is why we launched a long-term storage prepper beef company that provides high-quality food that’s shelf-stable for up to 25-years.
At Prepper All-Naturals, we believe Americans should be eating real food today and into the future regardless of what the powers-that-be demand of us. We will never use lab-grown beef.
