  • 2020 Tennessee General Election Results
    2020 Tennessee General Election Results President: As the nation awaits to see who the next President will be Tennessee was quickly called for President Trump Tuesday evening. Though the President underperformed in Tennessee compared to his numbers in 2016, he still decidedly carried the State with 61% of the vote. Joe Biden carried only three counties in Tennessee: Davidson, Shelby and Haywood. U.S. Senate: Just as Tennessee voting Red for President Trump was no surprise; it was no surprise that Republican Bill Hagerty won big against Democrat Marquita Bradshaw. Bill Hagerty will replace retiring Senator Lamar Alexander. Bill Hagerty is a lifelong Tennessean who has filled various roles in the private sector with a great deal of success and has served as Tennessee Economic and Community Development Commission under Governor Haslam and U.S. Ambassador to Japan under President Trump. Hagerty received the endorsement of President Trump and defeated Dr. Manny Sethi in the primary. U.S. House: All eight of Tennessee’s incumbents were re-elected with little opposition. Tennessee will have a new face in Congress in Diana Harshbarger, who won the Republican Primary for Congressional District 1 to fill the seat left open by retiring Congressman Phil Roe. Diana is a pharmacist from Kingsport. State Senate: Senate District 20: Senator Steve Dickerson, a Republican from Nashville was defeated by Democrat Heidi Campbell, mayor of Oak Hill. Experts knew this race would be close as the district is a democrat district by close to 9 points. Though Senator Dickerson was a left leaning Republican, his voting record was not enough to save him from the anti-Trump voter turnout seen in Davidson County.
