Republican Sen. Bill Hagerty was projected to win a second term in Tennessee’s U.S. Senate race over Democrat Marquita Bradshaw, according to Decision Desk HQ. The race was called after 10 p.m. with 99 percent of votes counted, and one outlet reports Hagerty took about 55 percent to Bradshaw’s about 43 percent. The Hill reports the race was closer than in 2020, when Hagerty beat Bradshaw by nearly 30 points. Hagerty, a former U.S. ambassador to Japan, was first elected to the Senate in 2020. Bradshaw, director of the Memphis nonprofit Sowing Justice, also ran for the seat in 2020.
