TRANSITION TEAM: Governor-elect Marsha Blackburn announced details of her transition team on Wednesday, during a joint press conference with Gov. Bill Lee. Most notably, Blackburn tapped Deputy Gov. Stuart McWhorter to lead her transition team. “Few have served our state so well, in so many vital roles, and there’s no doubt our state is in a better place because of his service. I’m grateful he is once again answering that call to service and to help ensure a smooth transition between gubernatorial administrations,” Blackburn said of McWhorter Wednesday. The choice fuels speculation that McWhorter is in contention to be appointed to Blackburn’s U.S. Senate seat, which she will vacate to become governor in January. When she leaves, she’ll get to name her own successor, who will serve the remaining four years of her second term in the Senate. — Sarah Grace Taylor.
