Governor’s Race: Endorsements

 The Pamphaleteer, Sept. 2, 2025- Over the last few weeks, Marsha Blackburn has been racking up the endorsements. Early support came from Knox County Mayor Glenn Jacobs and U.S. Congressman Tim Burchett. Since then, conservative political commentator and television presenter Tomi Lahren, state majority leaders Senator Jack Johnson and Representative William Lamberth, state senators Bo Watson and Dawn White, and radio host Clay Travis have all come out in support of the Senator.

Though John Rose hasn’t had as active an endorsement rollout as Blackburn so far, there’s still a long way to go and some suspect that he could land support from President Donald Trump. That said, Trump says he likes both Senator Marsha Blackburn and Representative John Rose and will remain neutral—for now. The president said he’ll likely be forced to endorse one or the other eventually. As far as the executive branch in Tennessee, Governor Bill Lee says that he won’t be weighing in at all.
