Episode Details

Tennessee’s primary election day is here, packed with big changes as voters choose new leaders for governor, Senate, Congress, and state legislature — especially after a wave of lawmakers retiring. Governor Bill Lee, barred by term limits, quietly endorsed five candidates including Charlie Hatcher over Andy Ogles in the 5th district. The race for two newly redrawn House seats is heating up, while some local races are already decided without challengers. Political ads have gone rogue — Senator Blackburn’s campaign reacted to an AI-generated ad calling her “queen pharma mama,” and Van Hilleary’s team unleashed AI-fueled attacks on Johnny Garrett in the 6th district. With drama, tech, and turnover everywhere, today’s results could reshape Tennessee’s political landscape.
