Beasley wins Democratic nod in North Carolina Senate primary
BY MAX GREENWOOD
Former North Carolina Supreme Court Justice Cheri Beasley is projected to coast to victory on Tuesday in the state’s Democratic Senate primary.
The Associated Press called the race at 7:47 p.m. ET.
Heading into Tuesday, Beasley was seen as the overwhelming favorite to capture her party’s Senate nomination. She faced only nominal competition in the primary after her top opponent, state Sen. Jeff Jackson, suspended his campaign late last year and endorsed Beasley’s bid.
Another well-known candidate, former state Sen. Erica Smith, also exited the Senate race last year to run instead for the House seat of retiring Rep. G.K. Butterfield (D-N.C.).
