Carper Fends Off Primary Challenge

Sen. Tom Carper (D-DE) warded off a primary challenge from political newcomer Kerri Evelyn Harris, throwing cold water on progressives’ hopes for another upset victory over a longtime incumbent, the New York Times reports.

“The most successful statewide politician in Delaware history, Mr. Carper won renomination for a fourth Senate term and what will likely be his 14th consecutive general election victory.“
