NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) – The first U.S. Senate debate between Democratic ex-Gov. Phil Bredesen and Republican Congresswoman Marsha Blackburn is set for Sept. 25.
Blackburn’s campaign announced Monday she’ll join the Cumberland University debate in Lebanon, adding that they are “looking forward to this debate and others.” Hosts include The Tennessean, the League of Women Voters of Tennessee, WTVF-TV and WNPT-TV.
The campaigns are working to coordinate other debates across the state.
The race to replace retiring Republican Sen. Bob Corker could be pivotal for the slim Republican Senate majority.
