Marsha Blackburn, Gloria Johnson make closing arguments to voters

[Uncle Joe]

Johnson has crisscrossed the state seeking to spark a blue revival, galvanized by a rise to national prominence during an attempted expulsion from the state House last spring. She has sought to paint Blackburn as out of touch with Tennessee voters and beholden to special interests, while pledging to make health care more affordable, restore abortion access, pass gun safety laws, and increase public school funding.

“Tennessee voters deserve better than Marsha Blackburn," Johnson told The Tennessean. "The people of Tennessee deserve a U.S. Senator who is fighting for families, not corporate lobbyists and the wealthy few."

"As U.S. Senator, I will fight to bring down healthcare costs for Tennessee families, ensure Tennesseans can earn a livable wage in our state and restore a woman’s right to make her own healthcare decisions," she said. "I have always stood tall for Tennessee and will continue to do so as a U.S. Senator.”

Blackburn has largely ignored her opponent throughout the campaign, opting instead to criticize the Biden-Harris administration and focus on some of the big topics animating Republican voters not just in Tennessee but across the nation: border security, transgender issues, and support for former President Donald Trump.

1. Unfortunately

according to the polls, Marsha is far ahead. I don't know what these people are thinking, My daughter's family lives in TN and they are all in the Johnson camp....in a deep red city.

6. They are uneducable, truly incapable of rational thought, as evidenced by their voting for Deripaska's good buddy blackb

blackburn who has done NOTHING for the people of TN.

2. NEVER FORGET this woman's roots....

4. Marsha is practical, respects *rump and wants to be "protected by him,"

so that she doesn't risk getting shot in the face.

Not everyone can be a Profile in Courage.

5. I voted early for Johnson

I would love to see Marsha voted out. She has done nothing good for TN.

7. Too bad the majority of Tennessee voters are too stupid to know who really has their best interests at heart

You have a great person running against a monster and Tennessee will pick the monster.
