Arkansas polls close as Sarah Sanders favored to win GOP nomination and Boozman hopes to retain Senate seat
Arkansas polls are closed and Sarah Sanders is favored to win the GOP nomination for governor while incumbent Sen. John Boozman hopes to retain his Senate seat.
Polls in Arkansas have closed as former White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders is favored to win the GOP nomination for governor and incumbent Sen. John Boozman hopes to fend off his primary challengers in a contentious race.
Endorsed early on in the race by former President Trump, Sanders hopes to clinch her party's nomination in an attempt to replace incumbent Gov. Asa Hutchinson, who is term-limited and has served as governor of the state since 2015.
Ahead of Tuesday's election, Sanders, who announced she was running for governor in January 2021, consistently polled ahead of Francis "Doc" Washburn, her primary challenger. Washburn is a former radio talk show host who now has his own national podcast.
