Former U.S. Ambassador to Japan Bill Hagerty secured the Republican nomination for U.S. Senate after a bitter Tennessee primary battle that centered on support for President Trump.
He spoke about the need to bring more diversity to the Republican Party, bringing in more candidates of color such as Nikki Haley, Tim Scott and Marco Rubio.
Despite a strong showing for a first-time candidate, Sethi was unable to overcome the president’s backing of his opponent. He was forced to thread a narrow needle of criticizing Republicans like Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell while pledging support for Trump.The race began to draw national attention as the candidates and their allies exchanged negative ads in recent weeks.
Neither campaign focused much attention on specific policy issues, rather choosing to prove their support for Trump and echo his sentiments on hot-button topics: disavowing antifa and the Black Lives Matter movement, criticizing China for the COVID-19 pandemic and pledging to stand up to metaphorical liberal mobs.
