Trump Press Secretary Sarah Sanders Wins GOP Nomination For Arkansas Governor

Former President Donald Trump press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders won the Republican nomination in the Arkansas gubernatorial race on Tuesday, setting her up for victory in the pro-Trump state.

She’s running for the office once held by her father, former Gov. Mike Huckabee (R). Trump endorsed her early on and she easily won the primary by a little over 83% of the vote. She also received a record amount in financing for her campaign at $14 million.

Sanders will face off against Democratic nominee Chris Jones, who is a Baptist minister who attended MIT for a degree in nuclear engineering. He won 70.5% of the votes to send him to the general election in November.
