GALLATIN — Donald Trump Jr., visiting Gallatin Tuesday, said Tennessee residents can expect to see a lot of his family this year as they campaign for U.S. Republican Senate candidate Bill Hagerty. Also, Trump didn’t say no when asked if he might one day relocate to the Volunteer State. Trump spoke at a fundraiser Tuesday for Hagerty at Gallatin’s EPIC Event Centre. Afterwards, Trump granted an exclusive interview to The Tennessee Star. As reported, another Republican, Manny Sethi, also wants to replace the retiring U.S. Republican Sen. Lamar Alexander. We asked Trump why he believes Hagerty will do a better job supporting U.S. Republican President Donald Trump’s agenda better than anyone else in the race. “He worked within our administration. More importantly, he was on Team Trump before it was politically expedient. He was on there before my father had won. He worked with us on the campaign and in 16. He then went on to fulfill my father’s objectives abroad as ambassador to Japan,” Trump said. “He understands how to work with my father. He understands how my father works, and for my father to endorse him means that my father trusts him to get that done. I…

GALLATIN — Donald Trump Jr. told a crowd in Gallatin Tuesday that Tennessee Republican U.S. Senate candidate Bill Hagerty “was on the Trump train before it was politically expedient.” And that, Trump went on to say, is why his dad, U.S. Republican President Donald Trump, endorsed Hagerty so early in the campaign. Trump and his girlfriend, former FOX News personality Kimberly Guilfoyle, spoke at a fundraiser for Hagerty at Gallatin’s EPIC Event Centre. Gallatin is Hagerty’s hometown. “It is safe to say that in a Republican primary today, unless you’ve been hiding under a rock for four or five years, my father’s endorsement is a pretty big deal,” Trump told the audience. “I also understand how primary politics works, and it’s not so easy. You never know what really happens. I can’t think of another individual who has been endorsed this early by my father. That’s everything you need to know. My father trusts him. He believes in him, as Bill believed in him when so few actually did.” Hagerty, meanwhile, described himself as a fourth-generation Tennessean who grew up raising cattle and pigs.
