The chairman of the Tennessee Republican Party warned local party members Monday that Democrats and forces in the âwoke cultureâ are now hard at work preparing for the 2022 midterm elections. Speaking to the East Tennessee Republican Club at the Carnegie Hotel, Scott Golden said progressive advocacy groups and âdark moneyâ played a role in former President Donald Trumpâs defeat in November. The state GOP chairman said President Joe Biden raised $11 billion in his race for the White House, and outspent Trump by more than $3 billion. He said Republicans can expect more of the same from liberal organizations next year, and warned of âballot harvestingâ on a national scale.
