Trump keeps knocking Tennessee down, and the state’s leaders aren’t fighting back
President Trump’s proposed FY 2026 budget includes a range of cuts to education, including $131 million to funds that go to Tennessee school districts. That’s the equivalent of nearly 3000 teachers.
The question is will Sen. Marsha Blackburn and Rep. John Rose, both of whom want to become Tennessee’s governor, actually stand up and fight for the state they hope to lead?
The answer is likely no.
