Republican Gov. Bill Lee breezed by without a primary challenger in Tennessee, built up a huge campaign cash advantage and has largely ignored his Democratic opponent, Jason Martin, en route to the general election.
Lee's approach in Tennessee, where there hasn't been a Democratic governor in more than a decade, goes in front of voters Tuesday after a first term in tumultuous times: a global pandemic, inflation, uprisings over racial injustice across the country, mass shootings nationwide and the Supreme Court’s end to the constitutional right to abortion. His popularity has remained high.
