Tennessee voters head to presidential primary polls Tuesday
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) – Tennessee voters head to the polls on Tuesday to make their choices for the Republican or Democratic nominee for president.
Republican candidate Marco Rubio held a rally at the Knoxville airport on Monday, the last of a series of campaign events by the candidates across the state in the days before the primary.
Rubio was joined at the event by Gov. Bill Haslam and U.S. Sen. Lamar Alexander, who argued that the Florida senator has the best chance of winning the general election in November.
Rubio and Texas Sen. Ted Cruz have stepped up their criticism of Donald Trump in advance of Super Tuesday votes in 11 states. Trump held a large rally outside Memphis on Saturday, predicting big wins in Tennessee and other states.
