Senator Marsha Blackburn was on “Sunday Morning Futures” with host Maria Bartiromo to talk about her campaign to be the next Governor of Tennessee. Blackburn is the Republican nominee and is running against Democrat Jerri Green after she won her primary race last week.
“Tennessee Senator Marsha Blackburn, welcome to you. Congratulations, Senator,” Bartiromo said.
“Thank you. It is such an honor and, I really am humbled and grateful to have that Republican nomination for Governor, and look forward to winning in November,” Blackburn said.
“Tennesseans know I have a history of delivering for them, Maria, whether it is fighting crime and working in Memphis to make it a safer place, or working on technology, protecting kids, protecting parents, and protecting our families,” Blackburn continued.
“We should be the nuclear energy leader of the United States here in Tennessee, so, we are looking forward to putting that experience to work for Tennesseans in the Governor’s office,” Blackburn said.
“What is happening in the Senate? You’ve got to tell us what the pushback is for the SAVE America Act.” Bartiromo asked.
After the first week of August, the US Senate is on recess until mid September without passing the wildly popular SAVE America Act to save US elections.
