Gov. Haslam cites 'real concerns' about long-term future of national GOP

NASHVILLE — Gov. Bill Haslam said Thursday he has concerns about the long-term future of the Republican Party at the national level.

"When we're losing the way we are with women and minorities and millennials, that's a concern to me," the Republican governor said.

Haslam has previously voiced concerns about GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump and recently said he would not vote for Trump and instead write in another Republican in the Nov. 8 election.

He said he did just that earlier Thursday when he voted early in Knoxville. The governor declined to say for whom he voted except to note it wasn't Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton.
