Two Tennessee elected officials were to meet with President-elect Donald Trump today, Knoxnews reports. U.S. Sen. Bob Corker and Congresswoman Marsha Blackburn were said to be traveling to Trump Tower for meetings. Corker, chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, has been rumored to be a prospect for secretary of state. But he said earlier this month that he believes someone else is more likely to get the job. Blackburn, a member of the Trump transition team’s Executive Committee, said she was looking forward to discussing “a broad range of policy issues, the transition, and to continue helping him choose the best people for his administration.”
