LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) — Sen. John Boozman has won the Republican primary for his reelection bid in Arkansas.
Boozman on Tuesday defeated three rivals in the state’s GOP primary after relying heavily on his endorsement from Donald Trump and the state’s top GOP figures.
The soft-spoken two-term senator had Trump’s backing, which featured prominently in every ad and mailer, and had adopted a more combative style during his reelection bid.
Boozman is in the line to chair the Senate Agriculture Committee if Republicans win the Senate.
Natalie James, a real estate agent from Little Rock, won the Democratic primary.
