ORLANDO, Florida — Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) introduced a term she called “The Committee of 74,” a reference to the 74 million people who voted for former President Donald Trump, in an exclusive with Breitbart News. During the interview with Breitbart News at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) hosted by the American Conservative Union (ACU), Blackburn said that people who voted for Democrat President Joe Biden are expressing “buyer’s remorse” already. “One thing we have to realize is there is a lot of buyer’s remorse right now,” Blackburn said. As such, she argued, this “Committee of 74” who represent the millions who voted for Trump, must go out and add to the ranks of Trump supporters and people who believe in the America First agenda in the coming days, weeks, and months ahead. “I saw we are—we, that supported President Trump, we’re kind of ‘The Committee of 74,’” Blackburn said. “We’re 74 million people that supported the president.
