Following his meeting with members of the state’s delegation, Trump announced the creation of his 2024 Tennessee Federal Leadership Team, which consists of the following Tennessee lawmakers:
- Senator Marsha Blackburn (R-TN)
- Senator Bill Hagerty (R-TN)
- Congressman Chuck Fleischmann (R-TN-03)
- Congressman Mark Green (R-TN-07)
- Congressman John Rose (R-TN-06)
- Congresswoman Diana Harshbarger (R-TN-01)
- Former TN-02 U.S. Representative Jimmy Duncan
“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 wrote in a press release.
Shortly after his leadership team announcement, several members of the coalition touted their endorsements of Trump in the 2024 presidential election.
Senator Hagerty, who served as the U.S. Ambassador to Japan during the Trump administration, tweeted, “It is my honor to give my whole-hearted endorsement to Donald J. Trump to be the next President of the United States…The mandate for a strong America has never been clearer, and I look forward to working again with President Trump to help our great nation find its way back from the precipice to the exceptional role we can and must play as a nation.”
It is my honor to give my whole-hearted endorsement to Donald J. Trump to be the next President of the United States. I was honored to previously serve in his Administration.

Senator Blackburn stated, “Under President Trump, our economy was booming, gas prices were low, and inflation was under control. Our border was secure, our adversaries feared us, & our military was strong. I am proud to endorse Donald Trump for President and can’t wait until he’s back in the White House.”

Congressman Rose stated, “President Trump was strong on the economy, strong at our border, and strong in protecting our freedoms and values. Joe Biden is weak on all of the above. Now more than ever we need a leader that projects strength. That’s why I am endorsing Donald Trump for President in 2024.”
