NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Republican U.S. Rep. Marsha Blackburn's campaign said Tuesday that anyone who thinks she can't win the general election in Tennessee's U.S. Senate race is a "plain sexist pig." Campaign spokeswoman Andrea Bozek released the statement after multiple media reports said some Republicans are encouraging U.S. Sen. Bob Corker not to retire over fears that Democrats will win the seat. Corker's office has said in a recent statement to media outlets that "it is true that Senator Corker has been encouraged by people across Tennessee and in the Senate to reconsider his decision, but at this point nothing has changed."
