Former sports broadcaster Michele Tafoya won Minnesota’s Republican Senate primary Tuesday, defeating state GOP-endorsed candidate Adam Schwarze and several other challengers as Republicans look to end a two-decade statewide losing streak.
The Associated Press called the race for Tafoya at 9:50 p.m. EDT on Tuesday. With 15% of the vote counted, Tafoya led with 51% of the vote to Schwarze’s 22%, while former NBA player Royce White had 9% and retired Navy officer Tom Weiler had 6%.
