Republican Sen. Marsha Blackburn is projected to defeat Democrat Jerri Green for Tennessee governor, keeping the office in Republican hands.

Fox News reported the projection in its election-night coverage. This report is based on Fox’s projection, rather than a verified call from the other major election desks.

Blackburn would succeed Republican Gov. Bill Lee, who was term-limited and could not seek reelection. Green is a Memphis city councilwoman.
