WASHINGTON — Six-term Sen. Thad Cochran and tea party favorite Chris McDaniel dueled closely Tuesday night in the bruising, costly Mississippi primary runoff that exposed deep divisions within the Republican Party.
With 10 percent of precincts reporting, Cochran led with 57 percent to McDaniel's 43 percent in a test of whether the congressional veteran could win over voters with his seniority and Washington clout.
In a last-ditch effort, Cochran had reached out to traditionally Democratic voters — blacks and union members — in his underdog candidacy against McDaniel. Voters who cast ballots in the June 3 Democratic primary were barred from participating.
The Mississippi contest that threatened to cast aside the 76-year-old Cochran was the marquee race on a busy June primary day that included New York, Oklahoma, Colorado, Maryland and Utah. In a special House election on Florida's Gulf Coast, voters chose Republican businessman Curt Clawson to replace former Rep. Trey Radel, who resigned in January after pleading guilty to cocaine possession.
In New York's Harlem and upper Manhattan, 84-year-old Democratic Rep. Charles Rangel, a 22-term congressman and the third-most-senior member of the House, faced a rematch against state Sen. Adriano Espaillat, bidding to become the first Dominican-American member of Congress.
