Alexander Exit Interview: Trump’s influence on GOP will continue
Outgoing Tennessee Sen. Lamar Alexander, seen here in May, made a prediction on the Politics Podcast: “I’m not sure when there will ever be a post-Trump party because whether he’s president or whether he’s not, he’s going to be a factor in our party and in our country.” (Andrew Harnik/AP file)
Sen. Lamar Alexander also said President Donald Trump has a record to be proud of during the interview on The Daily Memphian Politics Podcast. And he said he carried Memphis in his five statewide general election wins by campaigning everywhere in the county, not just the Republican suburbs.
