NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) – U.S. Sen. Marsha Blackburn of Tennessee says her focus will be “honoring our heroes” in her address Wednesday at the Republican National Convention.
In a phone interview Monday, Blackburn said she’ll soon learn more about whether her participation will be in-person or virtual.
She said she has examples of people helping after tornadoes earlier this year and during the COVID-19 pandemic, of law enforcement and emergency room nurses and of everyday people.
“We’ve got some good examples of groups and people who have just given extraordinary efforts,” Blackburn said. “Tennessee is the Volunteer State and people show up to help.”
