Republicans in Massachusetts select attorney John Deaton to take on Sen. Elizabeth Warren
Associated PressFollow live: Updates from AP’s coverage of the presidential election. BOSTON — Attorney John Deaton won a three-way Republican primary to face off against incumbent U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Warren, who ran unopposed in Tuesday’s Massachusetts primary. “A small handful of crypto billionaires and corporate special interests poured more than $2 million into a super PAC to handpick their preferred Republican candidate, and now Massachusetts voters have a clear choice that could determine control of the Senate,” Janice Rottenberg, Warren campaign manager, said in a statement. In eastern Massachusetts’ 8th Congressional District, U.S. Rep. Stephen Lynch faces no primary challenge in his race for a 12th full term. Videographer Rob Burke defeated two fellow Republicans — health care worker and retired Verizon employee Jim Govatsos and bar owner Daniel Kelly — for the chance to face off against Lynch in November.
