President Trump Endorses Tennessee U.S. Senator Bill Hagerty for Reelection

President Donald Trump endorsed Tennessee U.S. Senator Bill Hagerty (R-TN) for reelection on Wednesday, saying that the incumbent senator has been “doing a fantastic job representing the Great People of Tennessee.”

Hagerty was first elected to the U.S. Senate in 2020 after defeating Democratic nominee Marquita Bradshaw in the general election by 27 percentage points.

The senator announced his reelection campaign in February, as previously reported by The Tennessee Star.

“I have known Bill for a long time, as both a Highly Successful Businessman, and outstanding Ambassador to Japan. He has been with us from the very beginning, helping us, MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN,” Trump wrote in a Truth Social post. “In the Senate, Bill is working hard to Revitalize our Economy, Lower Taxes, Secure the Border, Champion our Incredible Military/Vets, Restore American Energy DOMINANCE, Protect our always under siege Second Amendment, and Ensure PEACE THROUGH STRENGTH.”

“Senator Bill Hagerty has my Complete and Total Endorsement for Re-Election – HE WILL NEVER LET YOU DOWN,” Trump added.

Prior to serving in the Senate, Hagerty was the U.S. ambassador to Japan in the first Trump administration. He also served at the state level as a member of former Tennessee Governor Bill Haslam’s cabinet and commissioner of the Tennessee Department of Economic and Community Development.

Hagerty said he was “deeply honored” to be endorsed for reelection to the Senate by the president, saying that with Trump’s support, he is “more determined than ever to fight for Tennessee, defend our conservative values, and work side by side with the President to again place the interests of Americans first.”

“President Trump’s leadership has ushered in a new golden age for America since his return to office, delivering historic victories for our Nation. But our work is far from over,” Hagerty said. “Together, we’ll keep building on this momentum and secure an even greater future for our country.”
