When Bill Hagerty easily defeated Dr. Manny Sethi in the U.S. Senate Republican Primary in August, the general consensus was – Hagerty would join fellow Republican Marsha Blackburn in Washington to represent the state of Tennessee.
According to the final vote totals, Hagerty won in a landside over Democrat Marquita Bradshaw in Tuesday’s Election.
Hagerty collected 1,837,940 votes or 62.2% of the total ballots cast compared to Bradshaw, who picked up 35.1% or 1,037,405 votes.
But Bradshaw, according to published reports, is not, and has not conceded the race, even suggesting, again according to published reports, some of her votes are missing.
During a fiery speech after the race was called, Bradshaw told a crowd of voters she won’t concede.
“This is not a concession speech,” Bradshaw said, “It is on the principle of democracy that we will fight until every last vote is counted.”
