US Senate race
Former U.S. Rep. Stephen Fincher says he's dropping out of his race for the Senate and thinks incumbent Bob Corker should change his mind and get back in the race. Fincher has been opposed by U.S. Rep. Marsha Blackburn in the Republican primary. Former Gov. Phil Bredesen is the lone Democrat. In the midst of an ongoing public feud with President Trump, Corker announced last fall he wouldn't seek re-election to a third term. A recent poll by a firm that is supportive of President Trump says Blackburn is twice as popular among Republicans in Tennessee as is Corker. The poll shows Bredesen gaining in strength against Blackburn, with 44 percent supporting Blackburn and 39 percent favoring Bredesen. The poll was funded by the Committee to Defend the President, which plans to spend heavily to support the Blackburn candidacy.
