Tennessee U.S. Senator Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) joined WarRoom on Saturday to discuss her endorsement of former President Donald Trump in the presidential election as well as the urge for action in regards to the crisis taking place at the U.S.-Mexico border.
“We need to make certain that President Trump is going to be President again…This nation is in trouble. You look at what is happening at that southern border and, you know, we have to secure it. You look at all of the out-of-control spending of this federal government – we have to secure it,” Blackburn said.
The Tennessee senator further called on Florida Governor Ron DeSantis and former South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley to suspend their presidential campaigns and endorse Trump moving forward.
“President Trump had a historic win in Iowa – he gave a great acceptance speech. He is going to run away with it in New Hampshire, and I think it’s time for Ron DeSantis and Nikki Haley to end their campaigns and endorse President Trump. We have a country that we have to get back on the right track and President Donald Trump is the man to do it,” Blackburn said.
When asked by guest host John Fredericks whether she was willing to personally make the calls to DeSantis and Haley urging them to suspend their campaigns, Blackburn said, “Of course.”
“It’s time for everyone to get on team Trump,” Blackburn added.
Pivoting to the crisis on the southern border, Blackburn articulated her stance on not voting for legislation that makes “illegal immigration legal.”
“This administration has focused on making illegal immigration legal, and we know border patrol has been telling us for decades that they need a physical barrier. They also need better technology where they could not need a border and they need more officers and agents on the ground,” Blackburn said. “You cannot continue this out-of-control parole system that Biden has where he’s waving people in every single month at that southern border.”

She’s pimping hard for trump for only one reason, to avoid having one of his mind-numbed zombies challenging her in the primary. She knows trump will lead us to another electoral disaster like in 18, and 20, and 22, and 23. But she cares more about getting re-elected than the good of the party.
