Trump-backed Sununu wins New Hampshire Republican Senate primary
Former senator John Sununu defeated Scott Brown in a closely watched GOP race that will likely be pivotal in November's midterm elections.
Former senator John E. Sununu, 61, won the New Hampshire Republican Senate primary on Tuesday, securing the GOP nomination in a race viewed as critical to Democratic efforts to maintain Senate control. Sununu, who served one Senate term from 2003 to 2009, defeated Scott Brown, who previously held the seat.
The primary victory sets up what is expected to be a competitive general election in November, with control of the upper chamber potentially hanging in the balance.
