2020 election

Harshbarger announced on May 12, 2020 her run for Congress in the first congressional district of Tennessee to succeed retiring Republican Phil Roe.[2] She received the endorsement of the Susan B. Anthony List[3] as well as Donald Trump[4] for her bid.

After handily winning the Republican primary,[5] Harshbarger faced Democrat nominee Blair Walsingham, who ran on the insistence of being a "moderate Democrat".[6] Harshbarger easily won the open seat in the district has consistently been strongly Republican since the Civil War.[7]

Unlike the state's two Republican senators,[8] Harshbarger voted in favor of objecting to the Biden electors for the 2020 U.S. presidential election for the states of Arizona and Pennsylvania.[9][10] This was following a mob during a peaceful Trump rally at Washington, D.C. that violently broke into the United States Capitol Building, after which many Republicans who had planned to object didn't do so. Harshbarger strongly denounced and condemned the breaking and entering.[11]
