What Went Down During The June 28 Primary Elections
Well, as we get ready to shutter down the live blog, there’s one less race that’s hanging in suspense. ABC News reports that Markwayne Mullin and T.W. Shannon are projected to advance to a runoff in the Republican primary in Oklahoma’s special election for the Senate.
And we’re set with Trump’s endorsees for today. While all six may have won, none were particularly tight or unpredictable races, with five incumbents and one rare case of massive cross-party funding.
Tonight’s results bring the winning tally of Trump-endorsed Senate, House and governor candidates to 116 out of 123 races. Among nonincumbents only, it’s 19 out of 25.
