Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.) announced Wednesday her bid for governor in Tennessee for next year’s election, becoming the favorite to succeed term-limited GOP Gov. Bill Lee.

“Trump is back, America is blessed, and Tennessee is better than ever,” the MAGA lawmaker said in a video released by her campaign that was filled with images of President Donald Trump.

“I love Tennessee, I believe in Tennesseans, and I’m ready to deliver the kind of conservative leadership that will ensure our state is America’s conservative leader for this generation and the next,” she added.
