In the 2020 Senate race for TN Senate seat, Bill Hagerty (R) won with 62.2% of the vote, defeating Marquita Bradshaw (D) who received 35.2%. 11 additional candidates split the remaining vote. Bill Hagerty's 27.0-point advantage over the runner-up confirmed a comfortable win.
This was an open-seat race with no incumbent running — Marsha Blackburn (R) previously held the seat. Open seats typically attract stronger candidates and heavier spending from both parties. The 2020 presidential election drove higher voter turnout, which can help or hurt down-ballot candidates depending on the top of the ticket. The wide margin suggests this district is firmly in the Republican column for the foreseeable future.
