On Monday, the Trump Campaign released a statement announcing their Tennessee leadership team, ” President Donald J. Trump visited Nashville. Tennessee this weekend to attend the Republican National Committee’s Spring Retreat. At the retreat, he met with and received strong support from Tennessee’s Republican Congressional Delegation. As his polling leads across the country, continue to expand at historic margins. President Trump remains committed to building a campaign of America First patriots that will win the 2024 Tennessee Republican Presidential Primary.”

The Trump campaign statement then went on to list Senators Marsha Blackburn and Bill Hagerty, Congresswoman Diana Harshbarger, Congressman Chuck Fleischmann, Mark Green, and John Rose as Trump’s congressional supporters from the volunteer state.

Current polling has Trump leading DeSantis by 25 points plus nationally. Trump also enjoys a 30-point lead over DeSantis in the Iowa Caucus. It’s expected that Trump’s latest round of endorsements from the volunteer state will push Trump’s already wide lead over DeSantis in Tennessee larger.
