Judge Dismisses McDaniel Challenge

August 29, 2014 · 5:46 pm ET · Leave a Comment

A Mississippi judge has tossed out Chris McDaniel’s (R) challenge to that state’s June 24 GOP primary runoff results, ending another chapter in one of the most bitterly contested U.S. Senate primaries in recent memory, CNN reports.

Jackson Clarion Ledger: “McDaniel is taking the long holiday weekend to mull whether he’ll accept defeat from the June 24 GOP U.S. Senate primary, or continue his appeal to the state’s high court.”
