Trump wins Tennessee GOP primary
Former President Trump was projected to win the GOP primary in Tennessee, according to Decision Desk HQ.
It’s another win for Trump in a state with 58 delegates up for grabs on the Republican side as he tries to notch the 1,215 he needs to win the party nod.
Trump won out over rival Nikki Haley, who has failed to rack up any significant wins even as she vows to stay in the race as the last challenger between the former president and the nomination.
Trump headed into the Tennessee Super Tuesday primary with a staggering lead of nearly 60 points above Haley, according to averages from Decision Desk HQ/The Hill. The pair appeared on the Volunteer State ballot alongside several candidates who have since dropped out, including Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) and former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R).
Trump won Tennessee in both 2016 and 2020, and the state hasn’t voted for a Democratic presidential candidate in decades.
Tennessee is one of more than a dozen states that are holding presidential nominating events on Super Tuesday, along with Alabama, Alaska, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Maine, Massachusetts, Minnesota, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Texas, Utah, Vermont, Virginia and the U.S. territory of American Samoa.
The contests are expected to significantly boost both Trump and President Biden, the Democratic front-runner, in their efforts to win the delegates they need.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Big hearts, small hands! Tennessee kids are stepping up to make a big difference this summer.
First Lady Maria Lee on Tuesday announced the eighth annual Tennessee Kids Serve Summer Challenge, encouraging young students to dedicate part of their summer to helping others.
The program, part of the Tennessee Serves initiative, runs from June 1 through Aug. 1 and is open to rising kindergarteners through rising sixth graders across the state.
Participants must complete at least two hours of service across two of eight designated categories to finish the challenge, with top participants earning an invitation to a September carnival at the Tennessee Residence.
Since its launch in 2019, more than 3,500 children have contributed over 15,000 hours of service through activities ranging from park cleanups to assisting nursing homes and raising funds for disaster relief.
Registration opened Tuesday, with parents and guardians able to sign up participants and access additional details through the First Lady’s official website.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WZTV) — A bill moving through the Tennessee Legislature could reshape how pharmacies do business in the state, with CVS warning it could lead to widespread store closures.
The Tennessee Senate has passed legislation that would change the way pharmacies can operate. The proposal has been dubbed “the CVS bill” because it directly impacts the drugstore chain.
Under the bill, drugstores would no longer be allowed to negotiate prices directly with insurance providers or government programs. Instead, a third party would be required to step in.
The bill is now under debate in the House. CVS says the change would force more than 100 of its pharmacies to close across Tennessee, but lawmakers disagree.
