KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — Rumors are swirling about who President-Elect Trump will pick for his cabinet members, with some thinking he may have his sights set on Tennessee.
"Well, rumors are, there might be three that would be interested," said public relations consultant Susan Williams.
Among those three are Senator Marsha Blackburn, Senator Bill Hagerty and Congressman Tim Burchett. All of whom have shown their support for Trump since his 2016 election bid.
"Well number one we are a very Trump state as you saw from the election on Tuesday night. And we have people who have been in leadership roles in several departments and congressional committees," said Williams.
And Congressman Tim Burchett agrees with those names.
"They're always going to be in play. Mark, he's chairman of a major committee, homeland security of course. And he's former military, and he has a record to run on. Marsha Blackburn, of course, has been loyal to the Trump administration from day one," said Burchett.
But when asked about it by Bloomberg, Senator Hagerty remained vague on the subject.
"I'm not gonna speculate on what the future might be I'll leave that to the speculators, except, I'm gonna do everything that I can to move us forward to bring our economy back bring national security back and do what I can to get America moving again," said Hagerty.
"Inside Tennessee" panelist and longtime republican Susan Williams said she expects politicians from the Volunteer State will make headlines
"Pay attention to the next few weeks, Tennessee could be in the spotlight," said Williams.
