EXCLUSIVE: Donald Trump Jr. Tells The Star that Tennessee is Crucial in the 2020 Election

  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.

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.
