Republican Senate candidate Marsha Blackburn has a big lead in early returns, but there have yet to be any results reported from the Democratic strongholds of Memphis or Nashville.
With 5% of precincts reporting, here’s how it looks:
| Marsha Blackburn | Republican | 338,013 | 61% |
| Phil Bredesen | Democrat | 209,583 | 38% |
Two interesting results from East Tennessee: Bredesen was up by 5 points in Hamilton County and behind by just 4 points in Knox County.
