Tennessee hasn't gone for a Democratic presidential candidate in more than 20 years

Tennessee hasn't voted for a Democratic presidential ticket since President Bill Clinton and Vice President Al Gore in 1996.

State of play: The GOP's dominant streak is likely to continue. Tennessee is not considered a battleground state this cycle, and polls show former President Trump as a heavy favorite here.

Flashback: Democrats made a hard run at the Volunteer State in 2000 when Gore, the native son, topped the ticket.

• George W. Bush narrowly defeated Gore 51.1% to 47.3% .
