STATE REPUBLICANS DISAGREE WITH GOVERNOR’S REJECTION OF TRUMP
On the eve of the start of early voting in Tennessee, state Republicans are up in arms over Governor Haslam’s public rejection of GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump. Memos have been issued by state party execs stating that “all hands are needed on deck” in order to assure a Trump win. The deadline for write-in candidates to have their votes counted passed before a tape of Trump talking about grabbing women was released. Haslam told reporters recently that Trump’s behavior makes him concerned about the future of the Republican Party already struggling to attract women, minorities and young people. Early voting begins Wednesday morning and runs through Nov. 3rd.
