Could Burchett's hours of UFO podcast appearances be a hindrance?

the name being floated around at David Kustoff's election party was Bill Haslam.

BUT...
If Trump thinks so....
Blackburn is the ultimate arse kisser. Don't think this might not happen.

Today's talk of Pete leaving is nothing but another psy-op by the left in conjunction with the lame stream media attempting to drive a wedge through the current Cabinet. It's all bullshite.

Peter's going to prison for war crimes. That's about all he's going to do after he resigned next month, along with half the Cabinet.

Move Burchett into the spot and keep Hegseth where he is.

He just got elected to his seat, so now he's just another opportunist looking to advance his own self-interests just like Blackburn. You run for a seat, you win. You honor your commitment to the voters who put you there, not jumping ship when you see greener pastures.
Tim Burchett's history of serving his community:
Tennessee House of Representatives (18th district) - 1995 - 1999
Tennessee Senate (7th district) - 1999 - 2010
Knox County Mayor - 2010 - 2018
US House of Representatives - 2019 - Present
Yes...he was re-elected on Tuesday, but he has been in this position for 7 years. So, he would still be representing the constituency, but in the Senate rather than the House.
You are replacing a Mississippi State graduate with a UT graduate...so, I'm sure many will be ok with that.
I could see Burchett replacing Blackburn, and Glen Jacobs being the Republican candidate for Burchett's seat in the special election that would follow.

There is an issue with the special election if she selects Tim. Repubican vote will still be down, Democrats will still be energized (maybe even more so). There is a decent chance the Democrats take that seat in a special election.
I am confident the Democrats would not win the seat in 2028, but a special election in the summer of 2027 has a real chance of putting a Democrat in office for the reamainder of the term. Although I guess given the huge Democrat lead in the House, that seat wont matter all that much.

As well as him hinting that we did not go to the moon.
I like Tim, but that weird shite is going to hold him back from being a major player in the GOP.

Possibly...but he did win by 16.5%, and someone like Jacobs would likely do very well in District 2. Jacobs won his last election as Knox County Mayor by a significant margin. Burchett won Knox County earlier this week by less than 2%, but won the other counties in the district by a large margin. Picture those numbers again...Burchett won the district by 16.5%, but won Knox county by 1.6%. In the 2022 Knox County mayoral election, Jacobs won by 10.5%.

As some of you know, I was elected a commissioner here in East Tennessee back in August.
My mayor is likely leaving for an appointment in Marsha's administration.
I have been told that Burchett is angling to stay in the House because he could rise up within the ranks of leadership fairly soon. That would put Glenn squarely in contention for the Senate spot.
However, as noted earlier, the state is aware of the liberal push into Knoxville with its growth and Jacobs was a very popular Mayor. If Burchett is willing to step into the Senate, Jacobs will undoubtedly fill the congressional spot.
A name nobody is talking about that may come out of left field (and is purposely being hidden from conversations): Former Governor Bill Haslam.
Jacobs could also take a role in Blackburn's administration within the state as well — and I see that happening should one of the other scenarios play out.
Interesting times.
