Rep. Ted Budd, former state Chief Justice Cheri Beasley win North Carolina’s Senate primaries

An endorsement by former President Donald Trump and $11 million from a conservative political interest group proved just the ticket for Ted Budd to win Tuesday the Republican nomination for U.S. Senate in North Carolina.

Budd, 50, defeated former Gov. Pat McCrory, former Rep. Mark Walker and 11 other Republicans, The Associated Press projected.

Budd will face former North Carolina Supreme Court Chief Justice Cheri Beasley in the general election held Nov. 8. The AP projected that Beasley, 55, won the Democratic nomination for Senate, becoming the first Black woman to do so in North Carolina.
