Durkin Wins New Hampshire Senate Race in Primary Surprise
Democrat John A. Durkin defeated his Republican opponent by nearly 20 000 votes in a decisive New Hampshire Senate race.

Durkin framed the win as a message to Washington and to the Republican party, while Wyman and Reagan faced scrutiny over past campaign actions and future party dynamics.
